Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
FCL means you book an entire container exclusively for your cargo sealed at origin, delivered intact to the consignee. LCL means your goods share a container with other shippers, paying only for the CBM you use. FCL is preferred for volumes above 15 CBM, fragile or high-value cargo, and time-sensitive shipments where transit speed and cargo security are priorities.
Standard full container load shipping options include:
- 20ft ~33 CBM payload, ideal for dense or heavy cargo
- 40ft ~67 CBM, the most commonly used container for general cargo
- 40ft High Cube ~76 CBM, with extra height for voluminous or light cargo
- Reefer, Open Top, Flat Rack for cold-chain, OOG, and DG shipments
As a general rule, FCL logistics services become more cost-effective once your shipment volume exceeds approximately 15 CBM. At this point, the flat container rate typically falls below the cumulative per-CBM charge of an LCL booking. Our team can run a cost comparison for your specific route and volume.
