Ocean Freight · Less-than-Container Load
Shipping less than a full container? With LCL consolidation you pay only for the space your cargo occupies — making international ocean freight practical and affordable for smaller and regular shipments.
Less-than-Container Load
LCL groups your cargo with goods from other shippers bound for the same destination, so you only pay for the volume you use. For shipments under roughly 15 cubic metres, it's often the most economical way to move freight internationally — and it keeps smaller, regular shipments flowing without waiting to fill a container.
How It Works
Your cargo is collected and delivered to our Container Freight Station (CFS) for inspection and staging.
Goods from multiple shippers bound for the same destination are combined into a single container.
The consolidated container sails on the vessel exactly like any full-container shipment.
At destination the container is unpacked and your cargo is separated and delivered to its final address.
Why choose LCL
Cargo over ~15 CBM, or time-sensitive? A dedicated full container may be faster and a better value.
