Ocean LCL
Ocean LCL
LCL stands for "Less than Container Load." It refers to a type of shipment in the shipping and logistics industry where goods from multiple shippers are consolidated into a single shipping container for transportation.
Overall, LCL shipping provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for shippers with smaller cargo volumes, offering access to international shipping services without the need to fill an entire container.
FCL Features
Consolidated Cargo
In an LCL shipment, multiple shipments from different shippers are consolidated into a single container. Therefore, when you see an LCL shipment, you might see various goods from different shippers packed together in one container.
Partial Loading
Unlike FCL shipments where the entire container is dedicated to one shipper, in an LCL shipment, the container is only partially filled with goods from multiple shippers
