What is LCL shipment?
Is your shipment too small to occupy an entire container? With LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping, your goods can be combined with other cargo in a shared container. This ensures your smaller shipment can be transported efficiently and on schedule.

Why choose LCL shipping?
LCL shipping offers flexibility and the ability to adapt to dynamic demands, particularly for businesses that frequently transport small shipments. With LCL, you can ship small boxes and pallets as needed, eliminating the wait to consolidate enough cargo to fill an entire container.
Opting for LCL means you only pay for the space your cargo occupies within the container, sharing both the space and costs with others. It’s a more affordable alternative to air freight, enabling you to ship smaller quantities more frequently while reducing expenses related to inventory storage and warehousing.
