What is a Full Container (FCL)?

I case you are going to ship a lot of stuff, then it is usually better to book a full container. Transport specialists call this Full Container Load (FCL). All cargo space is used exclusively for you. There are many pluses: quick transit time, less likely to damage your goods (as the container just contains your goods) and it’s more cost-effective. There are of course also drawbacks: you need large volume to be viable and insurance is extra important. There are also other departure ports. See for example Rotterdam to Tianjin (CNTXG) and Hamburg to Tianjin (CNTXG).

FCL means that you temporarily own a complete container.
Ideal for bulk items and large-volume products.
Economically viable when the shipment occupies 15 m3 or more.
Available at: e.g. Maersk, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, CMA CGM.

Information about Less than container (LCL)

If you don’t prefer a full container, it is often a good idea to pick a shared container. Transport organizations describe that as Less Than Container Load (LCL). The goal of LCL is that you share the space in the container and the shipping costs, with other businesses. There are multiple advantages: it’s perfect for shipping small loads, the handling and insurance costs are limited and it is more flexible during peak-times. Watch out: if you have a cargo load that is more than half a container unit, then FCL is probably your best bet. The total costs are calculated based on volume and weight.

LCL Means that means that your shipment is taking up only a part of a partial container.
A good solution for shipping volumes between 3 m3 and 14,5 m3.
You only pay for the space you are using.
Can be booked via practical all shipping lines.
Available at: e.g. Yang Ming, HMM, ZIM, Evergreen, Wan Hai.
