FCL Shipping FAQ
Common questions about full container load shipping, container types and planning international FCL cargo movements.
What is FCL shipping?
FCL stands for full container load. The shipment moves within a dedicated container rather than sharing container space with other cargo.
What container sizes do you support?
We commonly support 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers. Other equipment may also be possible depending on the cargo profile and routing requirements.
Can you support both imports and exports?
Yes. We support both UK import and export full container load movements, including customs coordination and inland transport support where required.
What information is needed for an FCL quote?
We typically require the origin, destination, cargo ready date, commodity, container type and whether collection, delivery or customs support is required.
Can you arrange container haulage?
Yes. We can coordinate UK collection, port delivery and onward container haulage depending on the shipment structure and routing.
Is FCL always better than LCL?
Not always. FCL is often more suitable for larger cargo volumes or dedicated container requirements, while LCL may be more appropriate for smaller shipments.
