When do i need a Full Container Load (FCL)?
If your goods don’t fit in a small (shared) container, then a full container is often worth it. This is known as an FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share it with other merchandise. There are many advantages to it: faster transit time, a smaller chance of damage to the freight and and it costs less at the bottom of the line. Important to mention: it is not efficient for small cargo types and insurance is extra important. Have your cargo depart from another port? See also Antwerp to Moss (NOMSS) or Hamburg to Moss (NOMSS).

What is the meaning of LCL container?
If your cargo does not fill a whole ocean freight container, then your cargo will be combined with other cargo. Transport specialists call this Less Than Container Load (LCL). The premise of LCL is that you pay per m3 or per metric ton for space inside a complete container. The advantages of this option include: you will share all costs with the other suppliers, reduces the costs of keeping a high inventory of goods stored and more options during peak shipping season. Disclaimer: once you have more than half a container worth of goods, then you better go for FCL. The cost of LCL is based on the volume in m3 and the weight of the freight.
- The premise of LCL is that you reserve space in a partial container.
- A suitable choice for transport with a size between 3,5 m3 and 15 m3.
