Types of Sea Freight Services

 

  • Full Container Load (FCL): This system is suitable for customers who want to ship large quantities of goods. In FCL shipping, all of the customer’s cargo is loaded into a dedicated container exclusively for their shipments. This system is considered the best and fastest among other shipping systems.
  • Less Than Container Load (LCL): This system involves shipping the customer’s goods in a portion of the container. The container includes shipments and goods from multiple customers, which helps reduce and distribute shipping costs. However, sometimes, the specific expenses associated with this type of shipping at the destination country can be relatively higher than full container load shipping.
