When you have insufficient cargo to fill a full container then you will need use a LCL service. LCL stands for Less than a Container Load. Here an agent will co-load your goods with other shippers into one container. These allows you to benefit from using a cost effective sea freight shipment without having the expense of shipping a full container empty. The general process for this shipment is:
The main disadvantage is that the overall transit times are longer than using your own full container as your goods having to go to a co-loaders warehouse and wait for other shippers products before being loaded into one container. You need to ensure that you goods are suitably packed or crated to ensure they can withstand the additional handling they will under go.
The most cost effective way of shipping goods around the world is in full containers. Using a full container allows the shipper and consignee to load the goods in the way to maximise the space and to ensue that the goods are loaded in an appropriate way to ensure they do not get damaged. Additionally there is better security as the container can be sealed at the factory once loaded and the consignee can check the seal on arrival.
