What is a Less than container (LCL)?
If a large full container is unnecessary, it is often a good idea to pick a shared container. Logistics management organization handles this as a LCL (Less Than Container Load). LCL means that shipments from various parties are combined to fill up one container. There are many positive aspects to mention like: for smaller loads, it is way cheaper than a full container, you can save on inventory costs and more flexible during intense shipping season. Remark: when you ship enough volume to fill more than half a container, it is often cheaper to book a full container. The total costs are calculated based on the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.
