In which situations do I choose an FCL container?
When you want to ship large quantities of goods, it is best to book a full container. The abbreviation FCL stands for Full Container Load. You don’t need to share it with other merchandise.

Pay attention to the disadvantages: it is not efficient for small cargo types and you have higher inventory costs. Transporting cargo from another port? Also see Antwerp to Juba (SDJUM) or Rotterdam to Juba (SDJUM).

What is a Less than container (LCL)?
If your cargo does not fill an entire 20-foot or 40-foot container, inquire about the possibilities for a shared container. This is known as LCL (Less Than Container Load).

There are multiple advantages: for smaller loads, it is way cheaper than a full container, you spend less on inventory warehousing space and more options during peak shipping season. Disclaimer: if 50% of the container consists of your goods, then you better go for FCL. The shipping costs are calculated on the basis of volume, usually in cubic meters (CBM).
