FCL


What is FCL?

FCL (full container load) is an ocean shipment in which the cargo occupies a full container (of any size).

An FCL shipment can be stuffed at the supplier, and then trucked directly to the CY (container yard).

The container can either be live unloaded at the destination, or the trucker can do a drop.


LCL


What is LCL?

LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments, also known as groupage, refer to ocean freight shipments that are transported in a shipping container alongside cargo from other shippers by sharing the space within the container.
