Question 2

Which kind of air freight charge is appropriate for a given good

Accepted Answer

Co-rates

Answer

Co-rates are specific commodity rates in air freight that apply to particular types of goods, providing tailored pricing distinct from the general cargo rate. They are appropriate when a specific good has characteristics that warrant a negotiated or commodity-specific charge. Cabotage refers to the right to carry domestic traffic, ULD refers to unit load devices (containers), and general cargo rates apply broadly rather than to specific goods.

Vessels exceeding 320,000 dwt are classified as Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs). The options of 100,000, 2,000, and 500,000 dwt do not correspond to the accepted VLCC classification range.
