What is FCL (Full Container Load)?

FCL shipping means booking a full 20’ or 40’ container for your goods. With exclusive container use, you benefit from:

• Faster transit times and simplified customs

• Reduced handling, minimizing risks

• Better unit cost for bulk orders

• Full control over loading and unloading
