(FCL) Full Container
If your goods don’t fit in a small (shared) container, then renting a full container is the most interesting. Freight carriers then talk about FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share space with others like LCL. This has multiple advantages: Usually a faster transit time, less risk of damage during the logistics process and the rates are more favorable. Of course there are also downsides: you need large volume to be viable and it can be a financial risk with a larger inventory. Departing from another port?

What is a Less than container (LCL)?
If your cargo does not fill an entire 20-foot or 40-foot container, you can ship it in a shared container with other shipments. Logistics experts treat that as a LCL (Less Than Container Load) agreement. What we mean by LCL is that you just pay for the amount of space used in a single container. You consciously opt for various benefits such as: you can send some good in a cheap way, storage and insurance is advantageous and more flexible during intense shipping season. Important: if 50% of the container consists of your goods, then FCL is probably your best bet. LCL shipping charges are generally computed based on the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.
- LCL means that your shipment is taking up only a part of a partial container.
- A good solution for shipping volumes between 3 m3 & 16,5 m3.
