FrançaisRange
In shipping, range means extent or scope of places. Carriers, particularly ship lines, quote base rate freight costs based on services from places they serve that are located within one range to the places they serve that are located within another range. Since different ports have different capabilities, cargo handling procedures and terminal handling charges, ship lines quote only base rate freight on a range-to-range basis, and add a terminal handling charge that depends on which ports are actually used.
