FULL CONTAINER LOAD (FCL) SERVICES
Full Container Load (FCL) involves booking an entire container that is exclusively used for your shipment. With this service, your goods are moved as a single consignment from your origin to your destination. FCL is most common for the movement of higher volumes of freight or in cases where security and control are vital due to the value or type of shipment.
FULL CONTAINER LOAD (FCL) SERVICES
Less than Container Load (LCL) is for shipments that do not require a full container for transportation. Your pallets are packed alongside other suitable consignments. This method allows you to lower the costs of international ocean shipping by only paying for the space you occupy, rather than a full container.

FAQs
Is sea freight more cost-effective than air freight?
Yes, sea freight is one of the most affordable methods for shipment. This is particularly true for large shipments or in cases where delivery time is further out, ensuring your delivery fits within your required schedule.
What documentation is required for sea freight?
The documents you will need for sea freight include the following:
- A bill of lading (B/L)
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Certificates of origin
Our team at LTS handles all necessary documentation on your behalf for a smooth and seamless shipping process.
What is the difference between LCL and FCL?
LCL services involve combining your pallets with goods from other businesses, sharing a shipping container. With this method, you pay for the space you use inside the container instead of the whole. With FCL, you pay for the entire container rather than the space you use, granting you exclusive use.
