Within your WebCargo account, you can now make searches for live rates and bookable capacity for ULD shipments. Follow the instructions in this article to find out how.

Important: currently ULD shipments are only available for Qatar Airways Cargo, Lufthansa, and Air France KLM.

Firstly, click on the New eBooking button. Then enter your origin and destination information, and choose your departure date and commodity type.

Next, choose whether you want to calculate your shipment by box, by the total shipment, or by ULD.

Choose the ULD option. You’ll then need to specify the number of units, the type of the ULD, and the weight of the shipment.

Tip: In many cases, selecting the specific ULD type will automatically fill in the height and volume information.

If you need to add another unit, click on the Add units button.

Hovering above the “i” symbol will show you the maximum allowed capacity for the ULD device.

Max loaded: is the maximum KG and volume for the selected ULD type

Empty Space: How much the ULD weighs and occupies without the contained shipment

Max dimensions: the maximum dimensions supported inside the aircraft

Once you’ve entered your ULD information, select the IATA number you will make the eBooking with, then click on Search flights and rates.

When your search results have loaded, the Total will, by default, be selected to show you the total price for the ULD.

After your search results have loaded, follow the normal procedure to complete the eBooking. Select your rate, then you’ll be redirected to the review and book page, where you can see all the details related to your shipment.

To the right-hand side of the results, there is a section called Load information. Within this section, you can see the ULD type next to the Load, as well as the total shipment weight and dimensions.

Click on View more details to see the complete breakdown of shipment details.

Finally, hover above the “i” symbol next to the ULD within the row that contains Load to see the compatible aircraft for the selected ULD.

Important: some airlines will need you to confirm that they can accept the ULD(s) for the eBooking to be accepted. Please make sure to check with the airline either pre or post-eBooking.
