LCL Shipment
Less Container Load. If the cargo load comes with a size or volume that is not enough to fill up an entire 20ft or 40ft container, the cargo load can be referred to as LCL. When your goods do not occupy a container, you can ship LCL.
More Convenience, Less Limitation
Businesses of various sizes, especially smaller businesses, are allowed to get access to global trade markets via LCL shipping.
Secure a Spot in an Easier Way
Peak shipping season always leads to limited container capacity. However, choosing LCL shipping can make booking space way easier and faster.
Lower Chances of Cargo Loss
If you have low-volume shipments to transport, shipping LCL will be a safer option because yours will share space with other shipments in the same container.
