LCL vs FCL: Key differences at a glance

When shipping by ocean freight, your first big choice is between full container load (FCL) and less-than-container load (LCL). This decision affects cost, speed, cargo security, and overall efficiency. Here’s a quick breakdown of the pros and cons to help you choose the best fit for your business.

Factor LCL (Less-than-Container Load) FCL (Full-Container Load)
Container usage Shared with multiple shippers Exclusive to one shipper
Cost model Pay by volume cubic metres (CBM) Fixed rate per container
Speed or transit time Slower, involves consolidation; more susceptible to delays Faster, fewer stops and direct routing
Security and handling More handling, higher risk exposure Lower risk, sealed from origin to delivery
Flexibility High – good for multi-location delivery Limited – one container, one destination; better availability in high-demand periods
Cost considerations Lower upfront cost; offers savings on smaller volumes but costs may scale quickly if cargo grows Economical for big shipments but requires larger upfront investment
Ideal for Small to mid-sized shipments (<15 CBM); non-perishable, cost-sensitive, and/or low-risk cargo Large, high-volume shipments (15–20 CBM+); fragile, high-value, and/or regulated goods

FAQ

Full Container Service refers to shipping where an entire container is reserved for one customer’s goods, offering exclusive use of the space.

FCL involves shipping an entire container for one customer, whereas LCL (Less-than-Container Load) combines shipments from multiple customers.

Full Container Service offers faster shipping, enhanced security for goods, and more efficient handling compared to LCL.

While Full Container Service may have higher upfront costs, it can be more cost-effective for larger shipments due to better space utilization.

To book FCL shipping, contact a logistics provider, provide your shipment details, and confirm container availability.
