The time required for FCL transportation varies based on distance, chosen transit routes, weather conditions and additional logistical factors. In most cases, FCL shipments offer faster transit times than LCL as a result of direct routing and minimized handling.
The cost of FCL shipping depends on multiple factors such as container size, origin and destination, cargo type, current fuel prices and relevant surcharges. Rates can also vary according to carrier agreements and shipping line tariffs.
FCL shipments generally utilize standard container sizes including 20-foot (20' or TEU), 40-foot (40' or FEU) and, in some cases, larger sizes like 40-foot-high cube (40' HC) or 45-foot containers, based on the carrier and route availability.
With full-container-load (FCL), goods are shipped in a container used entirely by one shipment, whereas less-than-container-load (LCL ) consolidates shipments from several shippers into one container. FCL offers exclusive container usage and typically provides faster transit times and less handling.
FCL describes a shipping arrangement in which one container is dedicated solely to a single shipper’s cargo, whether the container is completely filled or not. This prevents cargo from being mixed with goods belonging to other shippers.
