full container load

With full container load (FCL), each container is packed only with the goods from a single shipper. This can ensure that each container is packed to the brim, and moved directly to its destination without being opened en route until it reaches the addressee. The main functions of FCL are to provide this safe enclosed environment for the transportation of various goods—they are held together and cannot slip around, are protected from damage by all sorts of weather, thievery. Technologically, FCL containers have features such as reinforced walls, locking systems and in some cases temperature control machinery for cargo that requires special treatment.

Selecting to go with full container load has several effects. Firstly-and one thing in particular that optimizes the Shipping Time-By shipping an entire 40-foot container the possibility of loss or damage decreases. Secondly, for larger shipments FCL is more economical because you are charged for full containers, so generally speaking this method can save money if the amount of goods is large enough. Thirdly, quicker delivery by taking all these shares together in an FCL transfer benefits both sides. The lack of a need to fill an entire container means one less stop before Customs clearance and after it's all over, all waiting time falls away. Finally, aligning the container's loading and unloading schedule to fit in with your business operations means greater efficiency in total logistics management.

For companies dealing with things that are high in value or easily spoiled, this function saves and guarantees the quality of their shipment. For FCL, the safety of your cargo is beyond question.

Another major advantage of the full container load is its cost-effectiveness for shipping large volumes of goods. When you book an FCL, you are essentially renting out the entire container as one package; not only less expensive than LCL rates (Less-Than Container Load) where in addition to packaging and freight charges you pay a leaving cost per cb m. This price benefit is particularly noticeable when you're shipping heavy items or things that are packed very closely together, for the cost per unit content will fall as the volume grows. For businesses with substantial shipping needs this will obviously mean that a saving of several cents per item adds up considerably over time, making it possible to achieve low rates and higher profits.

A full container load simplifies the logistics, often resulting in quicker delivery. The container doesn't have to be unloaded and reloaded along the line, which saves time during transit. Moreover, FCL shipments generally receive quicker customs clearance: Since all the goods come from one consignor and enter the same container, there is no need to x-ray and open every consignment. This saving of time in the shipping process translates to quicker arrival of your goods at their destination, better supply chain performance and thus greater customer satisfaction. In the case of time-sensitive cargoes, this speed and reliability could be decisive in favoring FCL over other methods.
