FCL or LCL for your ocean freight to Thailand


When you are sending cargo to Thailand, you should know that standard shipping containers come in 20-foot and 40-foot sizes. You will have to choose between a full container load (FCL) or a less-than-container load (LCL, or groupage) for your shipment.


If your shipping volume is equal to at least half of a 20-foot container (six standard pallets or more), then a full container load (FCL) will suit your needs. Ten standard pallets is the maximum capacity of a 20-foot container, while a 40-foot container will ship 22 standard pallets.


Even for a smaller shipment you may wish to engage a full container load if you want to separate your goods from those of other exporters-to avoid any potential for damage from contact with others’ goods, for instance.


Otherwise, you could choose a practice known as groupage (LCL), in which you share a container with other exporters. You to pay only for the space you need with groupage. Consult iContainers for rates and other important details.
