40GP vs 40HQ: the difference that matters
A 40GP and 40HQ take the same slot on the vessel. The high cube adds about 30 cm of internal height — roughly 9 CBM — often at the same freight.
| 40GP | 40HQ | |
|---|---|---|
| Internal height | ≈2.39 m | ≈2.69 m |
| Usable volume | ≈67 CBM | ≈76 CBM |
| Freight | Base | Same or +0–5% |
If your cargo is volumetric (furniture, foam, packaging), always ask for the 40HQ — the extra 9 CBM is usually free.
