Full Container (FCL)

If you have enough goods to fill an entire container, then it is usually better to book a full container. Freight carriers then talk about FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share space with others like LCL. There are many advantages to it: Usually a faster transit time, a smaller chance of damage to the freight and you take advantage of economies of scale. There are also disadvantages: it is expensive for small loads and the financial risk is much greater. There are also other departure ports. See for example Antwerp to Lianyungang (CNLYG) and Rotterdam to Lianyungang (CNLYG).

What we mean by FCL is that an exporter is fully booking one or more shipping containers.
Ideal for bulk items and large-volume products.
It is cheaper when the shipment uses more than 10 pallets.
Available at: e.g. MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO, Maersk, CMA CGM.

In which situations do I choose an LCL container?

If you do not need a full container, it is often a good idea to pick a shared container. Logistics experts treat that as a LCL (Less Than Container Load) agreement. LCL Means that means that you share the space in the container and the shipping costs, with other businesses. You consciously opt for various benefits such as: freight costs are typically based on cargo volume, you spend less on inventory warehousing space and more options during peak shipping season. Worth mentioning: if 50% of the container consists of your goods, then you better go for FCL. The total costs are calculated based on the volume and weight of the packages.

The goal of LCL is that your cargo is transported in a partial container.
An excellent choice for cargo volumes between 3 m3 – 14,5 m3.
You just pay for the used volume of the full container.
Wide availability in all months of the year.
Available at: e.g. Evergreen, HMM, Wan Hai, POL, Yang Ming.
