FCL shipping. One container, your cargo.

When FCL is the right fit

FCL is worth assessing when shipment volume, weight, cargo sensitivity or the delivery plan makes a dedicated container practical. You do not have to fill every cubic metre. Compare the total movement cost with LCL, including consolidation, handling and destination charges. Packaging and load distribution still matter even when cargo travels in its own container.

• Regular replenishment and commercial stock
• Machinery, components and raw materials
• Cargo requiring controlled loading
• Larger orders from one or several suppliers

Select equipment around the load

Common dry options include 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high-cube containers. Usable capacity depends on the actual container, cargo shape, permitted payload, route and road limits. Heavy cargo may reach weight restrictions before the container is full; bulky cargo may need additional height. Send package dimensions and gross weight for an equipment assessment. Before loading, confirm the actual equipment specifications and suitability with the team; a general container size is not a guaranteed usable load plan. Include any access or lifting requirement at the shipper and receiving sites.

When standard dry equipment does not fit

From booking to destination handover

The agreed scope can cover origin coordination, carrier booking, shipping instructions, container handover and destination communication. Pickup, loading, customs services and delivery should be requested explicitly. We confirm which tasks and charges are included so the shipper and consignee can plan their responsibilities.

What affects an FCL quotation?

Origin and destination, equipment, commodity, cargo-ready date and routing all influence the proposal. Local charges, free time, inland transport and any special handling should be reviewed alongside ocean freight. Sailing estimates, space and equipment remain subject to confirmation.

• Ports and full addresses where relevant
• Container quantity and preferred equipment
• Commodity and gross cargo weight
• Ready date and collection/delivery scope
