Best LCL Shipping Services in Dubai 

As an importer/exporter, you must have come across terms like Less-than-container load shipping. The acronym for it is LCL shipping and it is for shipping load in smaller quantities. Another much known term is Full-container load shipping (FCL), which is concerned with the large quantity shipments. LCL is often recommended for shipping lesser quantities of load as it also costs less. 

Let’s dive deeper into the LCL shipping process in the article. 

LCL shipping

A simple explanation of when to opt for LCL shipping can be understand as such: 

“When your load(cargo) does not fill the complete container of height 20-foot or 40-foot then your cargo can be shipped alongside other shipments in a shared container.”

The above mentioned process can also be referred to as groupage. It is said so because different cargos are grouped in one container or shipping. Thus, LCL shipping is for low and moderate level weighted cargos.

Cost of LCL shipping

Freight is charged as per the volume of cargo. Weight is the main factor when load is more than a ton. In such cases, freight will be charged on the basis of whichever is higher out of CBM or weight. 

Importers/exporters thinking of opting for LCL shipping must know that the process of shipping not only covers the tally but the whale long journey. 

Costs included are:

  • Picking up cargo from the warehouse. 
  • Loading your cargo with another set of shipments in the container. 
  • The journey from the ship.
  • Taking out your cargo at the destination place
  • Delivering the cargo to the destined warehouse.

SLR Shipping Services is a leading Multimodal and International Freight Forwarding and Logistics company in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

LCL advantages

  • Cost effective
  • Saves inventory space when you have to ship small quantity cargos quite often. 
  • When it comes to availability during peak seasons, LCL is easier and readily available than FCL. 

LCL Disadvantages

  • LCL may cost a lot if you are using it for large volumes of cargo shipment. That’s why it's suggested to use FCL if you have large cargo. 
  • Due to different port changes and stops, there are chances of cargo getting damaged or lost.
