When is a FCL container a good choice?
If you have enough goods to fill an entire container, then it is usually better to book a full container. Freight forwarders then refer to it as FCL (Full Container Load). There is no need to share it with other shippers. There are many pluses: optimal transit time, less risk of damage during the logistics process and the rates are more favorable. There are of course also drawbacks: you need large volume to be viable and insurance is extra important. Do you want to send items from another port? Check also Antwerp to Huangpu (CNHUA) or Rotterdam to Huangpu (CNHUA).

What does LCL container mean in shipping?
If you do not need a full container, your goods will be shipped with other cargo. Transport specialists call this Less Than Container Load (LCL). The premise of LCL is that shipments from various parties are combined to fill up one container. There are many benefits like: you pay only for the volume you need, reduces the costs of keeping a high inventory of goods stored and easy time-management and scheduling. Remark: if you can fill more than half of a container, then FCL is probably your best bet. The cost of the shipment is determined by the volume and weight of the packages.
- The meaning of LCL is: your cargo is shipped in a partial container.
- The best choice for a charge between 3,5 m3 – 14 m3.
- You only pay for the space you need in a shipping.
- Easier to book during peak season.
