OCEAN FREIGHT
FCL allocates a full container exclusively for your cargo. It is generally cost-efficient for shipments above 20 CBM, minimizing cargo handling risks compared with LCL consolidation.
LCL consolidation suits smaller shipments insufficient to fill a full container. Your goods share container space with other shippers. Please note extra handling steps apply for consolidation & de-consolidation at origin and destination.
| Item | FCL Full-Container Load | LCL Less-than-Container Load |
|---|---|---|
| Container Usage | Exclusive for your cargo | Shared with multiple shippers |
| Best Volume | >20 CBM | <15–20 CBM |
| Pricing Model | Flat rate per container | Charge per CBM / W-M weight-measure |
| Handling Risk | Low (sealed container) | Higher (consolidation & deconsolidation) |
| Transit Time | More stable & faster | May add days for consolidation process |
