When you want to ship large quantities of goods, then a full container is often worth it. Freight forwarders then refer to it as FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t have to share space with others. There are many pluses: It guarantees a faster transit time, chance of damage is reduced to a minimum and you take advantage of economies of scale. There are of course also drawbacks: it is unsuitable for small goods exporters and it is hard to book during peak season. There are also other departure ports.

Details about Less than container (LCL)
If a large full container is unnecessary, a shared container can be used. Logistics management organization handles this as a LCL (Less Than Container Load). What we mean by LCL is that you pay per m3 or per metric ton for space inside a complete container. You consciously opt for various benefits such as: you pay only for the volume you need, reduces the costs of keeping a high inventory of goods stored and more options during peak shipping season. Pay attention: if 50% of the container consists of your goods, then you better go for FCL. LCL cost is calculated by volume, usually in cubic meters (CBM).
- The idea of LCL is that your shipment is taking up only a part of a partial container.
- A suitable choice for transport with a size between 3,5 m3 – 16,5 m3.
