In today’s global, interconnected economy, companies find that they’re shipping via ocean freight container much more often. Full container shipping (FCL) decreases handling costs, improves speed of transport, reduces damage to goods and provides greater security. Standard FCL containers are 20’ and 40’.
Less than Container Load (LCL) describes an ocean service that is designed for shipping boxed, crated or palletized cargo that cannot fill an entire 20’ or 40’ container.
