1. What is FCL – Full Container Load? / Back to FCL freight | Back to Export from the USA

FCL – an abbreviation for “Full Container Load”. This term is commonly used to describe a seafreight service that is designed for shipments of cargo where shipper has exclusive use of sea multimodal container. As a rule containers are loaded and sealed by shipper at the shipper's facility. Then it transported by ocean, rail and/or truck directly to the point of final destination.

Notice: If you have a cargo sufficient to fill a 20 foot sea container, we still recommend you to compare FCL to LCL option. In certain circumstances you may find that using LCL service can be more convenient and cost-effective for you. As an example, when you self-deliver boxed cargo to a ship-terminal, you eliminate container pre-carriage and waiting charges. Also you are not obligated to the container return to a carrier's destination container yard.
