The FCL sea freight service company said that many shippers will ask how to distinguish between FCL and LCL during daily delivery? How to judge whether it is more appropriate to go LCL or FCL? Today, the FCL shipping service company will tell you about it.

According to the FCL sea freight service company, LCL refers to the fact that the cargo consigned by the owner is not enough for the whole container, and the agent (or carrier) sorts the cargo and assembles the cargo to the same destination into the same container.
The FCL sea freight service company shows that LCL can be divided into direct consolidating or transfer consolidating. Direct consolidating means that the goods in the LCL container are loaded and unloaded at the same port, and the goods are not unpacked before the goods arrive at the destination port, that is, the goods are in the same unloading port. The transportation period is short, convenient and fast.
The FCL sea freight service company explained that consignment refers to the fact that the goods in the same container are shipped to different ports separately. Because it needs to be unloaded at the transshipment port, the container is unloaded, the cargo is divided and other transshipment flights, so the timeliness will be relatively slow. Pay attention to this when packing.
The FCL sea freight service company said that FCL is a relative term for LCL. Refers to a whole container. Only one consignor transports the whole box of goods to the destination port, and one consignee unpacks and receives the goods.
