LCL Loose Cargo ( Sea Freight charged per cubic meter ) LCL less than a container load
The cargo is held by the shipping company until space in a container is available that is going to the same direction. The cargo is then "consolidated" with other general freight in that container and shipped. There are disadvantages in an LCL shipment, for example the cubic freight rate per cubic is more than shipping a whole container and the cargo can take twice as long to reach its final destination ( while waiting for space) and finally the goods get handled many more times, especially by persons outside of our organization. Basically we loose control of your shipment when we hand it over to the shipping company. Even a half full 20ft container is sometimes more cost effective than an LCL shipment.
