FCL AND LCL SEA FREIGHT
There are two types of shipment in Sea Freight – LCL & FCL. We will suggest you on whether your shipment needs an LCL or FCL shipment based on your goods actual status. Here below the difference for your ideas:
FCL (Full Container Load), on the other hand, is suitable for goods that are huge enough to be transported in one whole container. The goods fill the entire container. If you opt for FCL, you get a dedicated container to transport your bulky goods.
LCL (Less Than Container Load) shipments are best suited for goods hat are too small to fill a whole container. So the goods are loaded and transported in a shared container with other people’s shipments.
FCL VS LCL
