When you need a lot of container space, then it is usually better to book a full container. Transport specialists call this Full Container Load (FCL). All cargo space is used exclusively for you.

When is a LCL container a good choice?
When you have too little goods to fill a full container, then your cargo will be combined with other cargo. You choose a LCL (Less Than Container Load) contract. With LCL transport, you pay per m3 or per metric ton for space inside a complete container. There are many positive aspects to mention like: you will share all costs with the other suppliers, reduces the costs of keeping a high inventory of goods stored and it offers consistent weekly sailing schedules for sea freight. Notable: if you can fill more than half of a container, then it is usually more interesting to opt for FCL. The shipping rates are based on the volume in m3 and the weight of the freight.
- The goal of LCL is that you make use of a partial container for the transportation.
