FCL Container Shipping offers reliable and efficient solutions for domestic full container load (FCL) shipments. With our dedicated fleet, we ensure your goods are securely transported from port to final destination with minimal handling, reducing delays and optimizing delivery times. Our flexible, scalable solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you're shipping large, bulk items or high-value goods.
FCL Container Dimensions
FCL (Full Container Load) containers come in standard sizes to accommodate various shipping needs. The most common sizes include:
- 20-foot container: Also known as a "20ft TEU" (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit), it typically holds up to 33 cubic meters or around 25-28 metric tons, depending on the cargo type.
- 40-foot container: Also called a "40ft FEU" (Forty-Foot Equivalent Unit), it can hold up to 67 cubic meters or approximately 25-30 metric tons of cargo.
- 40-foot high cube container: This variant is one foot taller than a standard 40ft container, providing extra vertical space with a capacity of around 76 cubic meters.
These containers are ideal for bulk shipments, high-volume goods, or items requiring secure, dedicated transport.
Advantages of FCL Shipping
-
Cost Efficiency for Large Shipments
FCL is more economical for businesses shipping large volumes, as you pay a flat rate for the entire container rather than per cubic meter.
-
Faster Transit Times
With a dedicated container, FCL shipments move directly to their destination with fewer stops, reducing delays and handling.
-
Enhanced Security
Your goods are sealed in a single container, minimizing the risk of damage, loss, or contamination compared to shared container options.
-
Simplified Handling
Since the container is not opened until it reaches its destination, there is less chance of misplacement or mix-ups during transit.
-
Flexibility for Bulk or Specialized Goods
FCL accommodates a wide range of cargo types, including oversized items, heavy machinery, and sensitive goods that require careful handling.
-
Reduced Risk of Damage
FCL ensures exclusive use of the container, eliminating potential risks from mixing with other shipments, as is common with LCL.
FCL shipping is the ideal choice for businesses seeking efficient, secure, and streamlined logistics for larger shipments.
Ideal Cargo for FCL Shipping
FCL (Full Container Load) shipping is best suited for:
-
Large Volume Shipments
Businesses with enough goods to fill an entire container, such as wholesale products, industrial supplies, or high-volume retail inventory.
-
Heavy or Oversized Items
Cargo like machinery, vehicles, or construction equipment that requires dedicated space due to weight or size.
-
High-Value Goods
Items such as electronics, luxury products, or pharmaceuticals benefit from the enhanced security of a sealed, exclusive container.
-
Fragile or Sensitive Goods
Products like glassware, perishable foods, or items needing specific handling or storage conditions are better protected in an FCL environment.
-
Bulk Commodities
Goods such as grains, raw materials, or liquids transported in specialized FCL containers (e.g., tank containers).
-
Time-Sensitive Shipments
Businesses needing faster transit and reduced handling prefer FCL for its direct, point-to-point shipping.
FCL shipping is ideal for shipments where security, efficiency, and scale are critical.
LCL (Less Than Container Load) services provide efficient and cost-effective transportation for smaller shipments. Perfect for businesses that don’t require a full container, or have a variety of goods that require container shipping. Our drayage solutions ensure your goods are securely transported from the port to their next destination. With a focus on precision, scalability, and reliability, Jillamy’s LCL drayage services simplify your supply chain, offering seamless connections and timely deliveries tailored to your needs.
LCL Shipping Container
LCL (Less Than Container Load) shipments typically share space within standard container sizes. While LCL doesn’t require a dedicated container, shipments are consolidated into standard-sized containers, such as:
-
20-foot container (TEU):
- Interior Dimensions: 19.4 ft (5.9 m) long x 7.8 ft (2.4 m) wide x 7.9 ft (2.39 m) high
- Volume: Approximately 33 cubic meters (1,172 cubic feet)
- Weight Capacity: Up to 25-28 metric tons (varies by regulations and cargo type)
-
40-foot container (FEU):
- Interior Dimensions: 39.5 ft (12.03 m) long x 7.8 ft (2.4 m) wide x 7.9 ft (2.39 m) high
- Volume: Approximately 67 cubic meters (2,372 cubic feet)
- Weight Capacity: Up to 25-30 metric tons
-
40-foot high cube container:
- Interior Dimensions: 39.5 ft (12.03 m) long x 7.8 ft (2.4 m) wide x 8.9 ft (2.69 m) high
- Volume: Approximately 76 cubic meters (2,694 cubic feet)
While these are the dimensions of containers LCL shipments utilize, the actual space allocated depends on the size and volume of your goods.
Advantages of LCL Shipping
-
Cost-Effective for Smaller Shipments
LCL allows businesses to share container space, paying only for the volume their goods occupy, making it ideal for smaller loads.
-
Flexibility
Suitable for businesses with varying shipment sizes, LCL offers scalable solutions without needing a full container.
-
Frequent Departures
LCL shipping typically offers more frequent sailing schedules, reducing wait times for smaller shipments.
-
Access to New Markets
Businesses can test new regions or ship smaller quantities without the commitment of filling an entire container.
-
Environmentally Friendly
By consolidating multiple shipments into one container, LCL reduces the number of partially filled containers, minimizing environmental impact.
-
Convenience
LCL providers handle the consolidation and deconsolidation process, simplifying logistics for shippers.
LCL shipping is an efficient, flexible, and cost-effective solution for businesses with smaller or irregular cargo needs.
Ideal Cargo for LCL Shipping
-
Small to Medium Shipments
Perfect for businesses shipping smaller quantities that don’t require a full container, such as retail goods or seasonal inventory.
-
Lightweight or Compact Items
Products like clothing, accessories, or packaged consumer goods that fit efficiently into shared container space.
-
Non-urgent Goods
Items with flexible delivery timelines benefit from the cost savings of LCL consolidation.
-
New Market Test Shipments
Ideal for businesses exploring new regions or testing new products without committing to large volumes.
-
Fragile or Delicate Items
Goods requiring secure packing but in smaller quantities, like electronics, home goods, or artisan products.
-
Regular Smaller Shipments
Businesses with consistent but small-volume shipping needs can take advantage of frequent LCL departures.
LCL is an excellent choice for businesses balancing cost, flexibility, and scalability for smaller cargo loads.
