FCL or LCL for your ocean freight to Uruguay


Before booking an ocean freight to Uruguay, you need to decide on whether you will need a full container (FCL) or if you only need just part of a container: in that case you will book a (LCL).


The LCL means sharing the space of one container with other clients. This normally means that the booking price will be determine by the volume and weight of your shipment. Normally a LCL is cheaper than booking a FCL. If you think that the volume of the merchandise shipped will not reach the half of the capacity of the container, LCL will always be the cheapest alternative.


However, if you are thinking about shipping 6 or 12 standard pallets, the best option would be booking your own 20-foot container or 40-foot container, with a storage capacity to hold 6 and 12 pallets respectively. If the features of your load require special treatment or at least not getting in contact with other merchant’s goods, we will always recommend the FCL service. In addition, it is not necessary to fully load the container. Once you book a full container, it is up to you how much of its capacity you will use.


Take a look at our rates to find the option that best matches your service so that it cover all the guarantees when shipping a container to Uruguay.
