Freight forwarding glossary

Freight terms in plain English, one definition each, from the team behind Optivis CMS, the cargo management system for freight forwarders.

The glossary is on the way

We're writing plain-English definitions of the terms forwarding teams use every day, from CBM and chargeable weight to HBL, MBL and demurrage. Until they're out, the chargeable weight calculator is free to use.
