On 20^th June, 2005 Kevin Hughes arranged for the transportation of a consignment of machinery by rail and sea. The place of departure was the Port in Southampton, and the destination was Queen's Harbour Master, Plymouth. It was an urgent delivery, i.e. in two days by 10 a.m. it would have to reach the destination without any delay. Kevin chose "Eurostar" as a train operating company and a crouse ship “Queen Elizabeth” as a sea carrier. The cargo (the freight) was 10 cases of machinery. The measurements of each case were 10 m by 2m by 1.1m, so the volume of the whole consignment was 220 cubic metres. Each case weighed 20 kilos, so the weight of the consignment was 200k. The freight rate was £1.50 per kilo or per cu metre, whichever was the greater. The charge by volume was £330 (220m³ Х £1.50) and the charge by weight was £300 (200k. Х £1.50). However Kevin decided not to send the goods as a conventional cargo because he could get a discount if he packed the goods in a standard sized container. Weymouth, Dorset and Torbay, Devon were supposed to be the transit stops. The train delivered the cargo into the port in Southmapton in time but there was a delay on the route because of a heavy storm, so the ship reached Plymouth only on 23rd June.
