FCL (Full Container Load)

FCL, or Full Container Load, is a term used in the procurement and transportation industry to refer to when goods are shipped in a dedicated container that is large enough to accommodate the entire shipment. This enables companies to minimize costs associated with shipping multiple packages, as well as the time spent dealing with handling multiple individual shipments. Additionally, FCL provides a greater degree of security due to the single cargo being self-contained within the container. The use of FCL for efficient and cost-effective shipping has become an increasingly popular choice among businesses today.
