...this was the cubic equivalent of the actual weight. Seafreight is quoted by weight or volume, whichever is greater (1000kgs = 1 cubic metre)
As an example - if the overall dimensions of the statues were:
Volume - 20x20x60cm = 0.024 cubic metres
Weight - 152 kgs
then the "chargeable weight" would be 152 kgs or 0.152 cubic metres, because the weight calculation is greater than the volume calculation. Hope this makes sense.
