The client's goods are transported in a filled and sealed container; LCL (Less than Container Load) or grouped shipment: the client's goods are not numerous enough to fill a container, thus the goods of several clients are combined into one container.
A shipper must reserve at least one entire container to ship an FCL shipment. It is not essential to book an entire container for an LCL shipment; only a portion of it must be reserved. Naturally, in the event of FCL, only one company will own the commodities therein.
LCL vs. FCL: For low-volume shipments of 2 to 13m3, LCL shipments are usually the preferable option. Under certain conditions, merchandise weighing less than 2m3 may be sent by LCL. When a cargo contains more than 10 conventional pallets or occupies more than 14m3, FCL shipments are usually less expensive.
For shipments of roughly 15 CBM, FCL can be less expensive. Because charges vary depending on the route, there is no set volume when an FCL is less expensive. Container prices per CBM (maximum load divided by container cost for maritime freight) are not usually lower than LCL.
The terms FCL and LCL stand for Full Container Load and Less Container Load, respectively. What exactly is FCL? If an exporter needs to stuff his cargo into one full container load, he hires an FCL (Full Container Load). In an FCL shipment, one shipper owns the entire contents of the container.
