When do i need a Full Container Load (FCL)?
If your goods don’t fit in a small (shared) container, then you better book an exclusive private full container. This is known as an FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share space with others like LCL. The advantages are great: It allows for a faster transit time, less likely to damage your goods (as the container just contains your goods) and and it is cheaper per unit. Important to mention: it is not efficient for small cargo types and unloading can be a hassle. Do you want to send items from another port? Check also Rotterdam to Yantai (CNYNT) and Hamburg to Yantai (CNYNT).
- The premise of 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.

In which situations do I choose an LCL container?
If a large full container is unnecessary, you can ship it in a shared container with other shipments. Logistics experts treat that as a LCL (Less Than Container Load) agreement. With LCL transport, you share the container with other importers. There are many benefits like: for smaller loads, it is way cheaper than a full container, storage and insurance is advantageous and more flexible during intense shipping season. Important: once you have more than half a container worth of goods, then it is usually more interesting to opt for FCL. The shipping costs are calculated on the basis of the volume and weight of the packages.
- The premise of LCL is that your cargo is transported in a partial container.
- Cost effective for shipments between 3,5 m3 and 15 m3.
- You only pay for the space you are using.
- Easier to find space during peak season.
