LCL, also known as part load, stands for Less Than Container Load. This term refers to the shipping of smaller ocean consignments, generally less than 20 CBM, which do not require a full containers capacity.
Unsworth Global Logistics specialise in LCL shipments and are able to consolidate multiple LCL shipments to create a full load.
LCL shipments are seen as a more economical alternative to airfreight, for smaller and less time sensitive goods.
Related term – FCL – Full Container Load – refers to a single shipment that fills a full container exclusively.
