Information about LCL containers
If you want to transport a small cargo by sea, it is often a good idea to pick a shared container. This is known as LCL (Less Than Container Load). The idea 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 will share all costs with the other suppliers, you can save on inventory costs and it offers consistent weekly sailing schedules for sea freight. Worth mentioning: if your goods can fill up half of the container space, then FCL is probably a more favorable choice. The total shipping costs are related to number of pieces, weight, volume, packaging.
