The term FCL in a sea shipment stands for a Full Container Load. The term LCL stands for Less Container Load.
Full container load, or FCL, and less than container load, or LCL, are terms used to refer to overseas shipping of cargo.
LCL and FCL are terms used in overseas shipping of cargo. They can also be used to refer to shipments transported by train. LCL is "less than container load" and FCL is "full container load" in overseas shipping. When transporting by train, LCL is "less than car load" and FCL is "full car load." Cargo can be shipped LCL or FCL.
It depends from where it is being shipped. Most times LCL shipment is more expensive than FCL. That's because the shipping company has to do more work than normal.
There are two kinds of ocean shipments: LCL and FCL. FCL = Full Container Load LCL = Less Container Load An LCL container has more than one company's goods in it, so it's more expensive to ship because the freight company has to do more work. Many companies won't ship things LCL--they'll wait until they've got enough orders to fill a 20-foot container, then fulfill them all at once. The company I got chainlink fence from when I worked retail was infamous for this; I would sit with no fenceposts for weeks on end because the company didn't have enough orders for them to fill a container. And come on: it's fenceposts. They're gonna sell, guys.
The destination charges for an LCL cargo by sea will vary depending on the shipment. The commercial shipment charge is $125.00. Personal shipments are anywhere from $200.00 to $500.00.
coustomer has a shipment of 15 CBM with a gross weight of 10 MT. The FCL rate is USD 850.00 per 20ft and the LCL rate is USD 55.00 W/M. A ) what method of ocean frieght do you suggest to the client b ) why?
No, less than container load (LCL) shipments do not require a full container. Multiple LCL shipments from different customers are consolidated into one container for cost efficiency.
The FCL quantity stands for Full Container Load quantity. It refers to the amount of cargo that fills a standard shipping container, usually either 20ft or 40ft in size, that is shipped by a single consignee. This is in contrast to LCL (Less than Container Load), where multiple shippers' goods are consolidated into one container.
Consolidation is to combine many small shipments (LCL - Less than Container Load) to make a larger shipment, which is enough to stuff into a full container.
