f you have enough goods to fill one full container load, then a full container is often worth it. Freight forwarders then refer to it as FCL (Full Container Load).

There are of course also drawbacks: you need large volume to be viable and you have higher inventory costs. Another departure port?

The concept of LCL is that you only pay for the space you need in a shipping container. You consciously opt for various benefits such as: you’re only charged for the space you are using, less inventory costs & management and easy time-management and scheduling. Notable: once you have more than half a container worth of goods, then it is usually more interesting to opt for FCL. The cost of LCL is based on the dimensions and weight of the cargo.
