What FCL means
Full Container Load means a container dedicated to one shipment. Consider it when cargo volume and characteristics justify separate equipment.
How LCL works
Less than Container Load combines several shipments in one container. The plan includes consolidation and handling at origin and destination, as well as ocean freight.
What to compare
Compare the total cost to the final warehouse, including terminal operations, packaging, inland transport and shipment volume, as well as the ocean freight rate.
Information to prepare
Prepare gross weight, package dimensions and count, product details, ports or addresses and the readiness date. Share special cargo requirements before requesting a quotation.
