Full Container Load (FCL)

A Full Container Load (FCL) is a shipping method where an entire container is used exclusively for one shipper’s cargo. This approach ensures that the goods remain sealed from the point of origin to the final destination, providing added security and reducing the risk of damage or loss. FCL shipments are ideal for large-volume goods that can fill a container or for shipments requiring exclusive space. This method typically results in faster transit times compared to shared container options, as there are fewer handling points along the route. While FCL can be more cost-effective for larger shipments, it may not be economical for smaller loads that do not fully utilize the container space.
