What does FCL container mean in shipping?
I case you are going to ship a lot of stuff, than you can reserve your own full container. Freight forwarders then refer to it as FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share it with other merchandise. This has multiple advantages: faster transit time, less potential for damage and you take advantage of economies of scale. You have to pay attention to a few things: the transport over land is more complex (truck) and there is only limited availability. Departing from another port? Also check out Antwerp to Moss (NOMSS) or Rotterdam to Moss (NOMSS).
- The goal of FCL is that the container only holds your cargo.
- Used by all major manufacturers and shipping companies.
- Relevant when you are sending more than 15 m3.

Details about Less than container (LCL)
When you have too little goods to fill a full container, your goods will be shipped with other cargo. Transport organizations describe that as Less Than Container Load (LCL). 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’re only charged for the space you are using, storage and insurance is advantageous and lower sourcing risk. Watch out: if you can fill more than half of a container, then FCL is probably a more favorable choice. The cost of the shipment is determined by volume and weight.
- LCL means that your cargo will be placed into a partial container.
- A suitable choice for transport with a size between 2,5 m3 and 16,5 m3.
- Cost-effective for freight forwarders with smaller shipment volumes.
- Easier to book during peak season.
- Available at: e.g. Wan Hai, HMM, Yang Ming, Evergreen, POL.
