How is it calculated…?
Cargo weight…? Volume…? Distance…?
Or a combination of everything…?
And is there some kind of rough rule of thumb that could be used to estimate the price of a load…?

Will postage be more expensive in 2025? How much will a letter cost then – especially to a foreign country?
There used to be fixed tariffs for inland ships. That’s a long story. In the meantime, each shipping company calculates its own freight rates.
I’d say the main factors are distance and weight. Whether the volume in the loading space is now half or completely filled is no matter.
Ask an inland waterboat driver, there’s no fist formula.
