LCL [ Less Container
Load ]
Shipments are packed and then crated in units, which are
manageable by hand or, by forklift truck, depending on the product.
These crated goods are then consolidated in a container along with other
part loads to same or various final destinations and shipped to Singapore
where they can be reconsolidated to a final destination container along
with other LCL goods from other origins intended for the same final
destination. This means that even part loads are still containerized
throughout their journey. This provides almost the same benefits as
shipment by FCL. Due to additional handling the transit time of LCL
goods may be up to two weeks longer than by FCL.
