LCL - Less Then Container Load

LCL is the abbreviation for Less than Container Load. In an LCL shipment, multiple LCL cargoes belonging to multiple shippers and consignees are packed into a single container for shipment. Shippers who ship LCL cargo are usually shippers who do not have enough cargo to fill an entire container. Therefore, for them, it makes sense to use and pay for only a certain amount of space that they use. Naturally, therefore, an LCL container is not handled by an individual shipper, but by an LCL operator. Depending on various countries, LCL cargo is handled either by a shipping line or a cargo consolidator. Clients deliver their LCL cargo to the packing station (CFS – Container Freight Station). The LCL operator then tags the LCL cargo to the various destinations that it is meant for. Once they have received enough cargo from various shippers to a certain destination, they will then consolidate the LCL cargo and pack it for the destination. The LCL operator will issue an individual bill of lading to each of the LCL cargo shippers. Depending on who the LCL operator is, it could be a direct bill of lading from the carrier or a house bill of lading from the consolidator, NVOCC or freight forwarder.

FCL - Full Container Load

There are several container service types. These are usually represented in documents as either FCL/FCL, LCL/LCL or other variations of the same. FCL is the abbreviation for Full Container Load. FCL container is the most common container service type used in global shipping transport today. When we say container service type, it is meant in relation to the shipping line. Therefore, as far as they are concerned when someone ships an FCL container, it has cargo belonging to one shipper and one consignee. While a container may be an FCL container for the shipping line, for a freight forwarder, NVOCC, LCL operator, groupage operator or cargo consolidator, the same FCL container could be an LCL container. For example, say there are three customers who are relocating from Cincinnati to Shanghai. But these three customers may not have enough cargo to fill an FCL container by themselves and have approached a cargo consolidator. This cargo consolidator could accept the cargo belonging to these three customers and book it to them as an LCL cargo and issue them with individual House Bills of Lading. The cargo consolidator could then book these three cargoes as an FCL cargo with a shipping line that will move this cargo from Cincinnati to Shanghai. The cargo consolidator will then become a shipper to the shipping line and collect a Master Bill of Lading in his name.
