For Full Container Load Service: FCL

If the Customer has significant amount of Freight and Cargo to Import or Export, they can use a Full Container, this option would be best for transporting Freight and Cargo to and from various Destination.

LCL comes directly from the port unlike FCL, LCL Freight and Cargo would have to be collected or delivered to or from the Customers Premises from packing / unpacking warehouse near the Ports. LCL shipments are grouped together with other Customers Shipments and loaded in one FCL Container, which is called Groupage Container Load. Again, depending on Customer’s requirements, Products, Weight, Volume Size of the Freight and Cargo, we will help and guide the Customer in determining which container would be appropriate for their shipment.

Costs would be considerably less then FCL Container Load.
