LCL is a term used in sea freight to describe loads that are “less than a container load,” or a shipment that does not fill an entire container.
In an LCL shipment, different shippers share a container. When cargo volume is not enough to fill a full container, an LCL shipment is usually cheaper, since the cost of shipping a full container is shared. When comparing the CBM cost between an LCL shipment and an FCL shipment, LCL will be higher, but the total price is often lower.
The short form FCL in shipping stands for the term 'Full Container Load'.
This means that a shipment occupies the entire space of a container, without having to share it with other shippers. In an FCL cargo, the complete goods in the container are owned by one shipper.
