What is a FCL container and what are the benefits?
If your goods don’t fit in a small (shared) container, then you better book an exclusive private full container. Transport specialists call this Full Container Load (FCL). You don’t have to share space with others. This has multiple advantages: efficient transit time, less risk of damage during the logistics process and it’s more cost-effective. Of course there are also downsides: it is unsuitable for Small Packages and unloading can be a hassle. Sending the sea freight from another port? Also see Rotterdam to Tauranga (NZTRG) and Hamburg to Tauranga (NZTRG).
- The premise of FCL is that one single container is booked exclusively for the transportation of cargo.
- Ideal for cargo with tight delivery schedules.
- For shipments that are larger than 10 CBM.
- Available at: e.g. COSCO, CMA CGM, MSC, Maersk, ONE.
Less than container (LCL)
If your cargo does not fill a whole ocean freight container, it might be cheaper to book a partial shipment (shared container). Transport organizations describe that as 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 positive aspects to mention like: you pay only for the volume you need, reduces the costs of keeping a high inventory of goods stored and it is faster during peak-season. Pay attention: when you ship enough volume to fill more than half a container, then FCL is a better choice. The shipping rates are based on the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.
- The idea of LCL is that you reserve space in a partial container.
- Cost effective for shipments between 2 m3 and 15,5 m3.
- You just pay for the used volume of the full container.
- There is always sufficient availability (every season).
- Available at: e.g. Evergreen, Yang Ming, Wan Hai, POL, ZIM.
