What does FCL container mean in shipping?
If you want to ship a lot of cargo, then a full container is often worth it. Freight forwarders then refer to it as FCL (Full Container Load). All cargo space is used exclusively for you. This has multiple advantages: faster transit time, less potential for damage and and it costs less at the bottom of the line. Pay attention to the disadvantages: it is not suitable for small cargo and it is hard to book during peak season. Have your cargo depart from another port?

When is a LCL container a good choice?
When you have too little goods to fill a full container, a shared container can be used. You choose a LCL (Less Than Container Load) contract. The premise of LCL is that multiple shippers’ goods are packed together. There are multiple advantages: you’re only charged for the space you are using, less inventory costs & management and easy time-management and scheduling. Disclaimer: once you have more than half a container worth of goods, then FCL is probably a more favorable choice. LCL shipping charges are generally computed based on number of pieces, weight, volume, packaging.
- What we mean by LCL is that you reserve space in a partial container.
- A suitable choice for transport with a size between 1,5 m3 and 14 m3.
