Why LCL Ocean Shipping May Be the Right Solution for Your Supply Chain

Needing to ship cargo overseas but don't have enough product to fill a full container? Struggling with the challenges of today's unpredictable ocean freight climate? It's important to know that you have options like Ocean LCL Shipments.

What is Less than Container Load (LCL)?

Less than Container Load (LCL) is the most flexible way to ship smaller, less time-sensitive products between major ports across the globe. Less than Container Load (LCL) is a flexible service suitable for anything from a single package up to a large consignment, with the advantage that you ship your goods as soon as they are ready versus waiting to fill a full container load. This allows you to ship out your product quickly, more frequently, and with better scheduling. Customers also benefit from favorable costs when shipping smaller LCL volumes.
