## Pages

- [Container dimensions](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/containers/): Internal
  dimensions, door opening, capacity, tare weight, maximum payload and maximum gross for
  every container type in general service.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/containers.md
- [Port codes (UN/LOCODE)](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/port-codes/): UN/LOCODE
  port codes for the ports in general container service, grouped by country, with the
  code, the place it names and what the code does not tell you.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/port-codes.md
- [Airport codes (IATA and ICAO)](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/airport-codes/): IATA
  three-letter and ICAO four-letter codes for the airports that carry scheduled freight,
  with the city each serves and why the two systems differ.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/airport-codes.md
- [Pallet sizes](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/pallets/): The six pallet
  footprints ISO 6780 specifies, plus the Australian standard, in millimetres and
  inches, and which are and are not in the standard.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/pallets.md
- [Unit load devices (ULDs)](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/uld/): IATA ULD
  codes for air cargo containers and pallets, with base footprint, height, volume,
  maximum gross weight and the aircraft each fits.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/uld.md
- [Freighter aircraft](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/aircraft/): Main
  freighter types with approximate maximum payload, main-deck volume and the ULDs each
  carries — orders of magnitude for planning, not specifications.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/aircraft.md
- [Container vessel classes](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/vessels/): Container
  ship size classes with approximate TEU bands and the physical constraint that defines
  each — canal locks, straits and terminal cranes.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/vessels.md
- [Incoterms® 2020](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/incoterms/): The eleven
  Incoterms® 2020 rules in plain English — where delivery happens, where risk passes,
  who pays carriage and who clears customs at each end.
  Markdown: https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/incoterms.md
- [IMO dangerous goods classes](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/imo/): The
  nine IMO dangerous goods classes and their divisions, what each covers and typical
  examples, for reading a dangerous goods declaration.

- [Liner terms and common charges](https://www.fratezone.com/freight-reference/liner-terms/): Liner
  terms — LILO, FIFO, FILO, LIFO, FIS, FIST — saying who pays to load and discharge,
  plus the surcharges that appear on most ocean invoices.

## Where the material comes from

Compiled from publicly available sources: published industry standards, official code
registers and carriers' own published specifications. Port codes are checked against the
UNECE UN/LOCODE register; pallet footprints against ISO 6780:2003; container figures
against the published specifications of Hapag-Lloyd, MSC and ONE; ULD figures against a
carrier's published ULD specifications.

## Using this material

- FrateZone is not the issuing authority for any of it, does not warrant that any figure
  is correct, current or complete, and makes no representation that a source has not
  changed since it was read.
- Figures are nominal industry values published for planning. Where a specification
  belongs to a specific physical unit — a container's certified weights, for example —
  the unit's own plate governs, not this reference.
- Where carriers genuinely differ, the pages say so rather than averaging. Do not present
  a figure here as the only one in use.
