Full Container Load (FCL) & Less Container Load (LCL)

The different container types offer maximum flexibility for the planning of your container transport. Here, not only the size and type of the container plays a role, but also the choice between a FCL (full container load) and LCL (less than container load) containers.
By using a FCL container, you have the possibility to transport exclusively your goods in a container. Thereby, you can protect your cargo from outside influences and ship them without additional handling. A FCL container can also be profitable, if the container is not entirely filled.
Furthermore, we offer LCL container shipments. Here, you are sharing the container and, thereby, also the costs for it with one or more clients. For this container transport, you should schedule additional time for the handling. The LCL container is not automatically the more favourable option. With the breakpoint calculation, we can determine fast and easily, which type is the more favourable one. Afterwards, it is still your decision, if you want to book a FCL or LCL container.
