Partial Containers – GROUPAGE LCL
Crystal Shipping & Logistics provides a service that assembles and groups together shipments sent to the same destination in one joined container. We provide weekly services from various ports, while specializing in the most varied destinations at competitive prices.
LCL stands for Less than Container Load, meaning that the goods being shipped do not fill a whole shipping container. Instead, multiple smaller shipments from different exporters or suppliers are consolidated into one container. The groupage method is used when the volume of cargo is not enough to fill an entire container.
Groupage LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping provides a highly flexible and cost-effective solution for companies with smaller shipments. By sharing the cost of container space with others, businesses can reduce shipping expenses and expand their reach to global markets without needing large inventories. However, businesses should weigh the potential disadvantages, such as longer transit times and handling risks, and ensure that the packaging and logistics processes are carefully managed. For small and medium-sized businesses or those with irregular shipment volumes, LCL is a practical and efficient shipping option.
