What are the advantages and disadvantages of FCL containers?
If your goods don’t fit in a small (shared) container, then it is usually better to book a full container. Freight carriers then talk about FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share space with others like LCL. The advantages are great: It allows for a faster transit time, less likely to damage your goods (as the container just contains your goods) and and it costs less at the bottom of the line. There are also disadvantages: the transshipment is more complex and insurance is extra important. Departing from another port? Also check out Antwerp to Tomil Harbour (FMYAP) or Rotterdam to Tomil Harbour (FMYAP).
- The goal of FCL is that one single container is booked exclusively for the transportation of cargo.
- Suitable for as many small items on pallets as large goods.
- Relevant when you are sending more than 15 m3.
- Available at: e.g. COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, CMA CGM, MSC.
What does LCL container mean in shipping?
If your cargo does not fill an entire 20-foot or 40-foot container, it is often a good idea to pick a shared container. You choose a LCL (Less Than Container Load) contract. The goal of LCL is that you share the container with other importers. You benefit from many advantages: it’s perfect for shipping small loads, less inventory costs & management and it is faster during peak-season. Disclaimer: if you have a cargo load that is more than half a container unit, then FCL is a better choice. The shipping costs are calculated on the basis of the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.
- The premise of LCL is that your cargo is shipped in a partial container.
- An excellent choice for cargo volumes between 4 m3 and 14 m3.
- You only pay for the space you need in a shipping.
- Capabilities at almost all international ports.
- Available at: e.g. Wan Hai, HMM, POL, ZIM, Evergreen.
