In which situations do I choose an FCL container?
If you have enough goods to fill an entire container, then a full container is often worth it. Freight carriers then talk about FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t have to share space with others. It is a popular transport method: ideal transit time, limited damage risk and the rates are more favorable. Important to mention: it is expensive for small loads and insurance is extra important. There are also other departure ports. See for example Rotterdam to Norrkoping (SENRK) or Hamburg to Norrkoping (SENRK).

What are the advantages and disadvantages of LCL containers?
If a large full container is unnecessary, a shared container can be used. You choose a LCL (Less Than Container Load) contract. LCL Means that means that you just pay for the amount of space used in a single container. There are many benefits like: for smaller loads, it is way cheaper than a full container, you spend less on inventory space and it is more flexible during peak-times. Worth mentioning: once you have more than half a container worth of goods, then FCL is probably a more favorable choice. The cost of LCL is based on the volume in m3 and the weight of the freight.
