When is a FCL container a good choice?
f you have enough goods to fill one full container load, then renting a full container is the most interesting. Within the logistics sector this is called FCL (Full Container Load). All cargo space is used exclusively for you. The benefits are great: It guarantees a faster transit time, a smaller chance of damage to the freight and you pay lower price per unit. Important to mention: you need large volume to be viable and you have higher inventory costs. Do you want to send items from another port?

What is a Less than container (LCL)?
If you do not need a full container, your goods will be shipped with other cargo. You choose a LCL (Less Than Container Load) contract. LCL means that multiple shippers’ goods are packed together. There are multiple advantages: freight costs are typically based on cargo volume, the handling and insurance costs are limited and more options during peak shipping season. Watch out: if your goods can fill up half of the container space, then FCL is a better choice. The total shipping costs are related to number of pieces, weight, volume, packaging.
- The meaning of LCL is: you transport your cargo via a partial container.
- For low-volume shipments of between 4 m3 – 13 m3.
