Ocean freight moves cargo inside a standard shipping container: FCL (Full Container Load), where a full container is dedicated to one shipper, or LCL (Less than Container Load), where container space is shared across smaller shipments.
Which option fits a given shipment depends mainly on cargo volume and how much of a container it fills. Freightivo helps shippers weigh FCL against LCL based on cost, timeline, and cargo protection needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
FCL (Full Container Load) means your cargo has an entire container to itself. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shippers' goods, which can lower cost for smaller shipments but typically adds time for consolidation and deconsolidation.
