What is the meaning of FCL container?

If your cargo is so large that you can fill an entire container, then you can book your own full container. The abbreviation FCL stands for Full Container Load. You don’t need to share it with other merchandise. The benefits are great: quick transit time, less likely to damage your goods (as the container just contains your goods) and you pay lower price per unit. There are of course also drawbacks: it is unsuitable for Small Packages and the financial risk is much greater. Another departure port? Also check Antwerp to Nagoya (JPNGO) or Rotterdam to Nagoya (JPNGO).

The goal of FCL is that the whole container is intended for one shipper.
Used by all major manufacturers and shipping companies.
If you’re shipping more than 14 m3.
Available at: e.g. CMA CGM, MSC, Maersk, COSCO, ONE.

What is a LCL container and what are the benefits?

When you want to save money and don’t need a full container, aks our freight forwarders to possibilities for a shared container. You choose a LCL (Less Than Container Load) contract. The concept of LCL is that you pay per m3 or per metric ton for space inside a complete container. You consciously opt for various benefits such as: freight costs are typically based on cargo volume, you spend less on inventory warehousing space and easy time-management and scheduling. Pay attention: when you ship enough volume to fill more than half a container, then you better go for FCL. The shipping rates are based on the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.

The idea of LCL is that your cargo will be placed into a partial container.
An excellent choice for cargo volumes between 1,5 m3 – 16 m3.
Cost-effective for freight forwarders with smaller shipment volumes.
Capabilities at almost all international ports.
Available at: e.g. HMM, POL, ZIM, Yang Ming, Evergreen.
