Less Container Load ( LCL )

Less Than Container Load (LCL) shipping is a method of ocean freight transport in which multiple shippers’ goods are consolidated within one container. Shippers typically opt for LCL in import and export situations where cargo volume is too low to fill a container by itself.

Less Than Container Load Shipping Benefits

The decision to use LCL shipping depends heavily on the type of commodity and size of shipment. As a licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC), our ocean freight team has the knowledge and expertise to provide the best solution based on your business needs.

• Improved flexibility:  The reduced quantity of LCL shipments reduces shippers inventory investment and allows more scheduling flexibility. With this method, its easier to adjust shipments to accommodate business needs.
