The world of global logistics is complex – customs, freight rates and import regulations vary from country to country. It doesn’t matter whether you send goods on a regular basis or just occasionally: We can answer any questions you may have and handle your transport needs. We are your reliable logistics partner providing you with a first-class service.
Essentially, there are two different options for transporting your freight in a container.
- FCL (full container load) gives you the option of transporting your freight in a container that is provided just for your cargo. This option is good for high freight volumes or for sensitive or valuable loads.
- LCL (less than container load) is like a consolidated container. Your goods share the container’s capacities with other freight. This means you use the precise space you actually need for your freight. We would be happy to help you choose the right option for your delivery.
FCL and LCL – when to use which option
Put simply: FCL suits larger volumes. The container is loaded at the consignor’s premises and unloaded at the recipient’s premises. Depending on the trade, our customers can choose between different services and therefore opt for, for example, the next possible, cheapest or quickest possible shipping.
LCL is economical particularly for smaller shipments. Here, we have the option of combining shipments for different customers and spreading the shipping costs across several customers. The delivery is taken to a warehouse where the container is made seaworthy and stowed, after which the consignment is then shipped. The container is unloaded in the destination port and the individual shipments are transported on to their destination. For certain trades we offer LCL express options.
