For large-volume shipments exported from or imported into Brazil, FCL shipments offer significant savings and help lower overall transportation costs.
Real-time tracking helps you monitor your FCL shipments and anticipate supply shortages. Because your goods move in a dedicated container, the risk of delays is minimized by eliminating waiting times for additional cargo. This supports faster departure and arrival times.
By reducing handling, FCL shipping lowers the risk of damage and loss and helps keep your cargo safe throughout transit.

To safeguard FCL shipments throughout their journey, the Rhenus Group uses advanced security measures, including continuous cargo monitoring, sealed containers and adherence to international safety standards.
FCL transportation times vary based on the distance, transit routes, such as those through Santos, Paranaguá or Itapoá, weather conditions and other logistics factors. Compared to less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments, FCL shipments typically offer faster transit times because they involve direct routing and reduced handling.
Several factors determine FCL shipping costs, including container size, origin and destination, cargo type, current fuel prices and any applicable surcharges. Rates may also vary based on carrier agreements and shipping line tariffs.
Standard container sizes for FCL shipments typically include 20-foot containers (TEUs), 40-foot containers (FEUs) and, in some cases, larger options such as 40-foot high cube or 45-foot containers, depending on the carrier and route availability.
With FCL, goods are shipped in an entire container, while a less-than-container load (LCL) shipment consolidates cargo from multiple shippers into a single container. FCL gives you exclusive use of the container and generally offers faster transit times with reduced handling.
FCL means that one shipper’s cargo is transported in a single container used exclusively for their goods, whether the container is full or not. This prevents the cargo from being mixed with goods from other shippers and makes FCL a common choice for exporters and importers across Brazil.
