What are the advantages and disadvantages of LCL containers?
If your cargo does not fill a whole ocean freight container, aks our freight forwarders to possibilities for a shared container. Logistics experts treat that as a LCL (Less Than Container Load) agreement. With LCL transport, you have no say about the other type of cargo that’s in the container with your freight There are many benefits like: you’re only charged for the space you are using, storage and insurance is advantageous and it is more flexible during peak-times. Pay attention: if 50% of the container consists of your goods, then it is often more interesting to go for an FCL shipping. LCL shipping charges are generally computed based on the volume in m3 and the weight of the freight.
