Ocean LCL Shipping
In Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) shipping, your goods share container space with cargo from other shippers. Instead of paying for an entire container, you only pay for the portion of space your shipment occupies. This makes LCL an efficient and cost-effective solution for businesses that don’t require full-container capacity.
When using LCL ocean freight, accurate volume calculation is crucial. Weight alone doesn’t provide enough information to determine the space your cargo will occupy within the shared container. Freight charges are typically based on a combination of both weight and volume, ensuring fair cost distribution among all shippers sharing the container.
Why choose LCL?
LCL is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses that move smaller consignments or deliver to multiple destinations. By sharing container space, you can reduce costs, optimize shipping frequency, and improve overall transit efficiency without the expense of booking an entire container.
Ocean FCL Shipping
In Full Container Load (FCL) shipping, you reserve an entire container exclusively for your cargo. This means your goods are not shared with cargo from other shippers, offering greater control, security, and efficiency during transit.
Ocean shipping containers come in various sizes, allowing you to select the most suitable option for your shipment. The most common sizes include:
20-foot containers
40-foot containers
40-foot high cube containers
These containers typically range between 8 to 10 feet in height, providing flexibility depending on your cargo volume and dimensions.
FCL is ideal for businesses shipping large volumes of goods or those requiring secure, dedicated container space from origin to destination.
