Pay attention to the disadvantages: it is not efficient for small cargo types and insurance is extra important. Departing from another port?

What is the meaning of LCL container?

If you do not need a full container, inquire about the possibilities for a shared container. This is known as LCL (Less Than Container Load). With LCL transport, you share space with others. There are multiple advantages: freight costs are typically based on cargo volume, you can save on inventory costs and easy time-management and scheduling. Disclaimer: if you have a cargo load that is more than half a container unit, then FCL is probably a more favorable choice. The cost of LCL is based on the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.

The concept of LCL is that a partial container is booker for the freight.
Cost effective for shipments between 2,5 m3 – 14 m3.
Deal for cargo that does not fill the entire container.
