Freight & Cargo
A full container load (FCL) is an ISO standard container that is loaded and unloaded under the risk and account of one shipper and only one consignee. In practice, it means that the whole container is intended for one consignee. FCL container shipment tends to have lower freight rates than an equivalent weight of cargo in bulk.
Please also check Container Sizes Resources information for detailed dimensions and weight and volumes.
Less-than-container load ( LCL ) is a shipment that is not large enough to fill a standard cargo container.
