FCL Sea freight is the main way of international ocean freight. There are two kinds of shipping containers. One is normal shipping container and the other is special shipping container. Generally speaking, shipping containers are almost normalized and their standard of different carriers is the same. Normal containers include 20FT(20GP)/40FT(40GP)/40HC(40HQ). 45HQ also belongs to normal ones, but rare shipping companies will supply. So, it is hardly used in freight forwarding. Containers except the 4 kinds mentioned are all special containers.
Goodhope company have very good relationship with many shipping companies in local China. We can get better sea freight from these shipping container companies, such as CSCL, MSK, COSCO, OOCL, APL.... Besides good sea freight, the most important thing is shipping container spaces, sometimes Chinese holidays coming, there are very less shipping container spaces can book, so you need have good relationship with shipping companies to get the spaces.
LCL=less than shipping container load, LCL the relative word of FCL, means a shipment less than a container load. For instance, 1cbm and 8cbm cargoes are LCL shipments. They are usually collected in a warehouse by forwarders and then loaded in the same container. Those products are certainly unloaded to deliver to different owners after arrival at destination warehouse. It is carrier’s duty to load and unload in LCL shipping. The fees are charged from shippers. Responsibilities of carriers for LCL are basically the same as traditional cargo shipping.
