FCL Shipping: Full Container Load Logistics

FCL stands for full-container load and describes the transport of a container from the point of loading to the point of unloading. Full-container loads are often a preferable ocean freight solution for many customers because of their cost efficiency, reliability, and reduced CO2 emission.

How FCL Shipping Boosts Your Business

From an economic point of view, FCL ocean freight is the recommended way of transportation if the volume from one origin to one destination reaches a sufficient capacity utilisation. Moreover, the dedicated use of a container ensures the shipper full transparency, a high level of control and a secure supply chain. Alternatively, we offer LCL and consolidation services.
