What is a LCL container and what are the benefits?
If your cargo does not fill a whole ocean freight container, you can ship it in a shared container with other shipments. Logistics experts treat that as a LCL (Less Than Container Load) agreement.

There are multiple advantages: for smaller loads, it is way cheaper than a full container, the handling and insurance costs are limited and it is more flexible during peak-times. Worth mentioning: when you ship enough volume to fill more than half a container, it is often cheaper to book a full container. The total costs are calculated based on number of pieces, weight, volume, packaging.
