What is a Full Container (FCL)?
If your goods don’t fit in a small (shared) container, then you can book your own full container. This is known as an FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share your container with anyone else. There are many advantages to it: optimal transit time, chance of damage is reduced to a minimum and and it costs less at the bottom of the line. Important to mention: the transport over land is more complex (truck) and it can be a financial risk with a larger inventory. Have your cargo depart from another port? See also Rotterdam to Coronel (CLCNL) and Hamburg to Coronel (CLCNL).
- The idea of FCL is that your goods are stored in a fully owned container.
- Load directly from factory or storage.
- Economically viable when the shipment occupies 15 m3 or more.
- Available at: e.g. CMA CGM, ONE, COSCO, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd.
(LCL) Less than container
With a small freight, a shared container can be used. Logistics experts treat that as a LCL (Less Than Container Load) agreement. The goal of LCL is that you share the space in the container and the shipping costs, with other businesses. There are many benefits like: you can save money on smaller shipments, you spend less on inventory warehousing space and lower sourcing risk. Notable: if 50% of the container consists of your goods, then FCL is probably a more favorable choice. The shipping rates are based on the dimensions of the package i.e. the length, width.
- What we mean by LCL is that your cargo is transported in a partial container.
- For low-volume shipments of between 2,5 m3 & 14,5 m3.
- You just pay for the used volume of the full container.
- Easier to book during peak season.
- Available at: e.g. Evergreen, HMM, Yang Ming, ZIM, Wan Hai.
