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.
