Information about Full Container (FCL)
When you need a lot of container space, it is best to book a full container. This is known as an FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share your container with anyone else.

Pay attention to the disadvantages: it is not efficient for small cargo types and it can be a financial risk with a larger inventory. Transporting cargo from another port?

- Used by all major manufacturers and shipping companies.
- Relevant when you are sending more than 15 m3.

LCL: Less than container
When you have too little goods to fill a full container, you can ship it in a shared container with other shipments. Transport organizations describe that as Less Than Container Load (LCL). The meaning of LCL is: you share the space in the container and the shipping costs, with other businesses. There are multiple advantages: you’re only charged for the space you are using, less inventory costs & management and it is faster during peak-season. Important: once you have more than half a container worth of goods, it is often cheaper to book a full container. The cost of the shipment is determined by shipping dimensions, weight, and number of pieces.
