About Revenue Tons
A Revenue Ton (RT) is a measurement used for billing purposes, primarily for bulk cargo. If cargo is rated as weight or measure (W/M), whichever produces the highest revenue will be considered the RT. Weights are based on Metric Tons (MT) and measures are based on cubic meters. The RT figure represents a combination of metric tons and cubic meters, which is not directly comparable to any other port’s metric tonnage figures. The Port of Los Angeles charges a flat rate per twenty-foot-equivalent container, and does not collect actual metric tonnage data for all cargo.
Conversion method: 1 Metric Ton (MT) equals 1,000 kilograms [2,204.6 pounds]. 1 Revenue Ton (RT) can equal 1 metric ton OR 1 cubic meter.
