There are also disadvantages: it is expensive for small loads and it can be a financial risk with a larger inventory. Another departure port?

LCL: Less than container
If your cargo does not fill an entire 20-foot or 40-foot container, your goods will be shipped with other cargo. This is known as LCL (Less Than Container Load). The idea of LCL is that you share space with others. You benefit from many advantages: freight costs are typically based on cargo volume, reduces the costs of keeping a high inventory of goods stored and it offers consistent weekly sailing schedules for sea freight. Watch out: if you can fill more than half of a container, 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.
- The concept of LCL is that you transport your cargo via a partial container.
- A good solution for shipping volumes between 3 m3 and 14,5 m3.
