FCL

Full Container Load — a whole container booked for one shipper.

Full Container Load means the container is booked for a single shipper's goods, whether or not the box is physically full. FCL moves faster through the terminal, avoids the risk of damage from co-loaded cargo, and usually costs less per unit once your volume is large enough to justify a dedicated box. We help shippers find the point where FCL becomes cheaper than consolidating.
