Details about Full Container (FCL)

f you have enough goods to fill one full container load, than you can reserve your own full container. Transport specialists call this Full Container Load (FCL). You don’t need to share it with other merchandise. This has multiple advantages: It guarantees a faster transit time, limited damage risk and and it costs less at the bottom of the line. There are also disadvantages: it is not efficient for small cargo types and it is harder to unload the FCL shipment. There are also other departure ports. See for example Rotterdam to Jawaharlal Nehru (INNSA) or Hamburg to Jawaharlal Nehru (INNSA).

What we mean by FCL is that the whole container is intended for one shipper.
Ideal for bulk items and large-volume products.
For shipments that are larger than 10 CBM.
Available at: e.g. MSC, ONE, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM.

(LCL) Less than container

With a small freight, a shared container can be used. This is known as LCL (Less Than Container Load). The meaning of LCL is: multiple shippers’ goods are packed together. There are many benefits like: for smaller loads, it is way cheaper than a full container, less inventory costs & management and it is faster during peak-season. Important: if you have a cargo load that is more than half a container unit, then you better go for FCL. The shipping costs are calculated on the basis of the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.

The premise of LCL is that you make use of a partial container for the transportation.
A good solution for shipping volumes between 3 m3 & 13 m3.
Cost-effective for freight forwarders with smaller shipment volumes.
More Availability During Peak Season.
Available at: e.g. Yang Ming, Wan Hai, Evergreen, ZIM, POL.
