Task 1:1 20 boxes of Product A, each weighing 350 kg
10 crates of Product B, each weighing 500 kgDunnage material totaling 250 kg
15 pallets (120x110 cm) with each weighing 120 kgTotal weight of cargo and materials: 350 x 20 + 500 x 10 + 250 + 120 x15 = 14,050 kg
Tare weight of the container: 3,850 kgVGM = Tare weight + Net weight = 3,850 + 14,050 = 17,900 kg
2 The size of a 40-foot container is 1220 x 244 x 260 (cm).
The size of each pallet is 120 x 110 (cm).This container will load up to 20 pallets.Because this container is loaded with 15 pallets, 5 pallets should be added.The maximum gross weight for a 40-foot container is 30,480 kg
This container can still accommodate an additional 30,480 - 17,900 = 12,580kg
The total weight of 5 pallets which were added is 120 kg.The total remaining weight of the container is 12,580 – 120 = 12,460 kg
Option 1: Additional boxes of Product A that can be added without
exceeding the weight limit: 12,460/350 = 35.6 boxes.A maximum of 35 boxes of Product A can be added
Option 2: Additional crates of Product B that can be added without
exceeding the weight limit: 12,460/500 = 24.92 crates.A maximum of 24 crates of Product B can be added
Option 3: The number of boxes of Product A and crates of Product B that
can be added without exceeding the weight limits are 7 and 20 respectively:350 x 7 + 500 x 20 = 12,450 kg
The shipper should consider loading 5 pallets and up to 35 boxes of Product Aor up to 24 crates of Product B or 7 boxes of Product A and 20 crates of Product B
Task 2:
A 40-foot container (tare weight 3,800 kg, max gross weight 26,500 kg) is beingloaded with steel coils
Trang 2Each coil: 1.5 meters diameter, 0.5 meters width, density of 7,850 kg/m³Number of coils: 14
Coil Volume: V = π × r2 × h = π × (1.5/2)2 x 0.5 = 0.884 m3
Total Cargo Volume: Vtotal = 14 × 0.884 = 12.376 m3
Coil Weight: W = V x D = 0.884 x 7850 = 6939.4 kgTotal Cargo Weight: Wtotal = 14 x 6939.4 = 97151.6 kg
Estimated Gross Weight which we can load into that container: Gross Weight
= Tare Weight + Wtotal = 3800 + 97151.6 = 100951.6 kgMax payload = Max gross weight – Tare weight = 26,500 - 3,800 = 22,700 kgWe can load 3 steel coils Gross Weight = 3 x 6939.4 = 20818.2 kg
