Details about Full Container (FCL)

If you want to ship a lot of cargo, it is best to book a full container. Freight forwarders then refer to it as FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share your container with anyone else. It is a popular transport method: faster transit time, a smaller chance of damage to the freight and you take advantage of economies of scale. There are also disadvantages: you need large volume to be viable and insurance is extra important. Do you want to send items from another port?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of LCL containers?

If you want to transport a small cargo by sea, then your cargo will be combined with other cargo. Transport specialists call this Less Than Container Load (LCL). What we mean by LCL is that you share the space in the container and the shipping costs, with other businesses. There are many benefits like: you pay only for the volume you need, you can save on inventory costs and it is more flexible during peak-times. Watch out: if you have a cargo load that is more than half a container unit, then FCL is probably a more favorable choice. LCL shipping charges are generally computed based on the dimensions and weight of the cargo.

LCL Means that means that a partial container is booker for the freight.
For low-volume shipments of between 1,5 m3 and 15,5 m3.
Cost-effective for freight forwarders with smaller shipment volumes.
Can be booked via practical all shipping lines.
Available at: e.g. Wan Hai, ZIM, HMM, Evergreen, POL.
