Have the entire container to yourself
Have more flexibility and control over your FCL cargo.
Ship safely
Be responsible for loading and unloading and avoid possible rough handling that comes with LCL shipping that risk damaging your cargo.
Be competitive
FCL may be the more economical option even if you don’t occupy the entire container.
In ocean freight shipping, containerized cargo comes in two main forms - LCL (Less than Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load). As their names suggest, LCL involves merchandise that takes up less than the entire space of a full container, which means having to share a container, and FCL simply means having an entire container to yourself.
Book FCL
When you send more than 10 standard pallets or 14m3 worth of merchandise:
Goods above this volume may be shipped at a lower rate via FCL than LCL. → Optimize costs with an FCL shipment.
When you need your cargo to be secure:
With FCL shipping, goods are not in contact with those of other shippers and have a lower risk of being damaged. → Protect your cargo with FCL shipping.
When your shipment is urgent:
Transit times for FCL shipments are shorter because they don’t go through as many hubs as LCL shipments do. → Fast-track your shipment with FCL shipping.
