While sea shipping takes longer, it also costs less.

For sea freight, there are two different types of shipments to choose from:
- Less than Container Load (LCL) and
- Full Container Load (FCL)
Less than Container Load (LCL)
LCL shipping is considered a form of group shipping.
In the event that your cargo cannot fully fill up a shipping container by itself, it will share a container with other smaller cargo.
Full Container Load (FCL)
FCL shipping is when the goods in one entire container comes from the same shipper.
However, this does not mean that the container is fully loaded with cargo.
As compared to LCL, FCL is generally cheaper per unit of freight, more secure, requires less transit time and has lower risk of damaged cargo.
