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 |
| Cost Category | Description | Savings Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Freight Charges | Calculated based on container size (20ft/40ft) and shipping route distance | Book early to avoid peak season price surges |
| Port Handling Fees | Includes loading/unloading, terminal operations, and storage fees | Plan container loading efficiently to maximize space utilization |
| Customs Fees | Costs related to export declaration and import clearance | Prepare complete documentation to avoid inspections and delays |
| Insurance Fees | Insurance coverage during the shipping process | Choose appropriate insurance to avoid overlapping coverage |
| Taxes | Duties and other applicable taxes | Understand destination country tariffs and declare accurately to minimize unnecessary fees |
