The term “full container load” (FCL) refers to cargo that can fill at least 75% of the whole container. There are three sizes of containers: 20ft (33 CBM), 40ft (66 CBM), and a 40ft high cube container (76 CBM).
The smaller containers are designed to carry heavy bulk cargo like minerals, metals, machinery, sugar, paper, cement, and so on. On the other hand, larger containers are designed to carry voluminous freight like furniture, steel pipes, paper scrap, and various products.
Due to their massive size, FCL shipments can only be delivered by truck when they arrive at an Australian port.
To determine freight costs, LCL employs the CBM (Cubic Meter) measuring unit. As a professional freight forwarder, Bacolod will assist you in shipping your goods via LCL sea freight if the quantity of your goods is small and the volume is less than 15CBM. This implies that your shipment will be bundled with other shipments bound for the same Australian port.
If your shipment is delicate, has a short shelf-life, and needs to arrive to Australia by a strict deadlines, LCL may not be for you. With further details about your import, Bacolod can recommend you the most optimal mode of sea freight.
