LCL / FCL
Choosing the right container option for your cargo
What is LCL / FCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) means your cargo has an entire container to itself — suited to larger volumes where you can fill, or nearly fill, a container. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shipments, suited to smaller volumes.
The right choice depends on your cargo volume, budget and timeline. We help assess which option fits a given shipment and handle the booking either way.
Ideal For
- FCL: cargo volumes that fill most or all of a container
- LCL: smaller shipments that don't need a full container
- Businesses shipping a mix of volumes across different orders
Key Highlights
FCL: Full Container
Your cargo alone, with more control over loading and no sharing.
LCL: Shared Container
Pay for the space you use — suited to smaller cargo volumes.
Cost-Matched to Volume
We help you choose the option that fits your shipment size.
Consolidation Support
LCL cargo is consolidated and deconsolidated carefully at each end.
How It Works
Volume Assessment
We review your cargo volume to recommend FCL or LCL.
Booking
Container space — full or shared — is booked with the carrier.
Loading / Consolidation
Cargo is loaded into a dedicated container, or consolidated with other LCL shipments.
Transit & Delivery
Cargo moves to destination and is deconsolidated if shipped as LCL.
