What is a FCL container and what are the benefits?
If you have enough goods to fill an entire 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. The advantages are great: efficient transit time, a smaller chance of damage to the freight and and it is cheaper per unit. There are of course also drawbacks: it is not suitable for small cargo and unloading can be a hassle. Departing from another port?

In which situations do I choose an LCL container?
If your cargo does not fill an entire 20-foot or 40-foot container, then your cargo will be combined with other cargo. This is known as LCL (Less Than Container Load). With LCL transport, you share the space in the container and the shipping costs, with other businesses. There are multiple advantages: it’s perfect for shipping small loads, you can save on inventory costs and it is more flexible during peak-times. Disclaimer: if you can fill more than half of a container, then you better go for FCL. LCL cost is calculated by the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.
