FCL Shipping - FAQ
Full container load shipping (FCL) involves transporting goods using an entire shipping container dedicated to one customer’s cargo. This option is ideal for larger shipments that require the full capacity of a container, ensuring a direct and secure transport.
The main benefit of full container load shipping is the exclusivity of the container. Since the container is not shared with other shipments, the risk of damage or theft is minimised. Container shipping is also more efficient, as goods travel directly to their destination without the need for unloading and reloading at various terminals.
In full container load shipping, the customer’s goods are packed into a dedicated container, which is sealed and transported directly to the destination port. This direct route minimises delays and ensures better security, as the goods are handled less frequently.
Full container load shipping (FCL) uses an entire container, whereas LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments share a container with other customers. FCL is generally preferred for larger shipments, while LCL is ideal for smaller loads that don’t fill an entire container.
Full container load shipping is best suited for large shipments or those requiring faster, more secure transport. If you need to ship a substantial amount of goods or have high-value, time-sensitive items, FCL ensures safe and direct delivery.
