Information about Full Container (FCL)
If your goods don’t fit in a small (shared) container, then you better book an exclusive private full container. Within the logistics sector this is called FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t have to share space with others. There are many advantages to it: efficient transit time, chance of damage is reduced to a minimum and and it costs less at the bottom of the line. There are also disadvantages: it is not suitable for small cargo and it is hard to book during peak season. There are also other departure ports. See for example Antwerp to Mormugao (INMRM) or Rotterdam to Mormugao (INMRM).
- FCL Means that means that one single container is booked exclusively for the transportation of cargo.
- Perfect for the transportation of large amounts.
- It is cheaper when the shipment uses more than 10 pallets.
- Available at: e.g. ONE, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk, CMA CGM.
What is a LCL container and what are the benefits?
When you have too little goods to fill a full container, a shared container can be used. Transport specialists call this Less Than Container Load (LCL). With LCL transport, you only pay for the space you need in a shipping container. There are many positive aspects to mention like: you can send some good in a cheap way, you spend less on inventory warehousing space and easy time-management and scheduling. Pay attention: if your goods can fill up half of the container space, then FCL is probably your best bet. LCL cost is calculated by the dimensions of the package i.e. the length, width.
- What we mean by LCL is that you transport your cargo via a partial container.
- A good solution for shipping volumes between 2 m3 and 16,5 m3.
- You only pay for the space you are using.
- More Availability During Peak Season.
- Available at: e.g. POL, Yang Ming, HMM, Evergreen, Wan Hai.
