FCL vs. LCL: Which is Right for You?
Understanding the differences between Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping can help you choose the most cost-effective option for your needs.
- FCL: Exclusive use of an entire container for your cargo
- FCL: Typically more cost-effective for larger shipments
- FCL: Reduced handling and lower risk of damage
- LCL: Share container space with other shippers
- LCL: More economical for smaller shipments
- LCL: Greater flexibility with shipping schedules
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our sea freight services.
FCL (Full Container Load) means you exclusively use an entire container for your cargo, regardless of whether it's full. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shippers' goods. FCL generally offers faster transit times, less handling, and lower risk of damage, while LCL is more economical for smaller shipments that don't require a full container.
