Available shipment modes for sea freight
Less than container load (LCL)
LCL (less than container load) refers to a cargo that’s below the weight to which freight rates are applicable. Your goods will be grouped with other freights to fill up standard containers.
It often requires you to pay for the space taken up by your cargo. Many consider this shipment mode beneficial due to its lower shipping costs, provided you meet the minimum volume.
Full container load (FCL)
FCL (full container load) is a form of shipment where the load reaches the maximum weight allowed. It uses a standard container measuring around 20ft or a 40ft shipping container.
This shipment option works well for large and fragile goods. You can also choose not to fill the container up and reserve the remaining space for additional requirements.
