How many 25kg bags will fill a 20ft container.Reason I am thinking of exporting some goods by sea?

Answer 1

25 kilo bags of what though? 25 kg of feathers or hay will be bigger than 24 kg bags of lead or gold.

Answer 2

That is a bit of a mismatch as you are talking about weight and size. You need to know the size of the 25kg bags.
A 25kg bag of sugar is smaller in size than a 25kg bag of feathers. Hence, you will be able to get more bags of sugar into the 20ft container and the container will weigh more than with feathers.

Answer 3

Your container will have a total weight limit and probably a per-square-foot weight limit, as well as the obvious volume limit. Work out the number of bags that would reach the volume limit (need to know the volume, not weight, of each bag), work out the number of bags that would reach the weight limit, the number of bags you can load is the lower of these figures. Either way, work out how you are going to load the bags so as not to breach any per-square-foot limit. Also check the value of the proposed loading versus any limits imposed by the handlers.

Answer 4

depends on the dimensions of the bag, and how wide and how high is the container. The container may have a weight limit also. If the bags contained gold coins for example, then a full container might not be strong enough. You have not given enough information for us to answer the question

Answer 5

You need to divide the volume of the container by the volume of the bag. It's the measurement of the bag that you have to take into account, not the weight.

Answer 6

Check with the mathematicians. We're business people and we're just about making money and calculating the means for making the money.
