A Solution for Volume

Built for Larger Shipment Volumes

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is the right choice when your cargo volume is large enough to fill--or nearly fill--an entire container. Instead of sharing space with other shippers' goods, your cargo travels sealed and exclusive from origin to destination, reducing handling, transfer risk, and transit variability.

For importers moving machinery, building materials, steel products, or bulk commercial goods from China to Syria, Lebanon, the Middle East, Africa, or the USA, FCL offers predictable costs, dedicated container space, and simpler customs handling compared to consolidated cargo.

Choosing the Right Method

When Should You Choose FCL?

Choose FCL When

  • Your cargo volume fills a significant portion of a 20GP, 40GP or 40HQ container.
  • You need sealed, exclusive-use container space with no co-loading.
  • Cargo is heavy, bulky, or fragile and benefits from reduced handling.
  • You want predictable per-container pricing rather than per-CBM rates.
  • Shipping to routes with limited LCL consolidation, such as Syria and Lebanon.

LCL May Suit You Better When

  • Your shipment volume is small relative to a full container.
  • You are testing a new market or product with lower order quantities.
  • Paying for unused container space would not be cost-efficient.
  • Longer transit time from consolidation is acceptable for your timeline.
