FCL = FULL CONTAINER LOAD

What does FCL mean?

FCL means full container load. This indicates that a shipper occupies an entire container. There are two types of FCL: One that is loaded by the shipper by its own means, and one that is picked up at client’s facilities, loaded in our Nippon Express warehouses and taken to the loading dock.

In import case, the unloading of the container is delivered to the recipient by the shipping company at the unloading dock.

Based on the options of sea routes, the service of full container (FCL) is the best combination of cost and transit time for goods in full load.

LCL (LESS THAN CONTAINER LOAD) = CONSOLIDATED CONTAINER LOAD

What does LCL mean?

If your shipment  is not large enough to fill a standard cargo container, LCL(Less than Container Load) is a good solution as it allows to consolidate your goods with other shipper’s goods. The consolidated cargo is received by a consolidator which is responsible for receiving the goods in their facilities (CFS), and proceeds to load it in a container with other goods.

In import case, the container is discharged and delivered to the receiver in the store of de-stuffing on arrival (CFS). For this reason, the service consolidated (LCL) is also called CFS Cargo.
