Container shipping is the optimal solution for transporting larger shipments and oversized goods over long distances, but it is also commonly used for sending smaller shipments in consolidated transport. Its key advantages include cost-effectiveness, fast loading and unloading, as well as the ability to easily continue transportation with other methods without the need for repacking the goods.
Container shipping is divided into two main types:
Full Container Load (FCL):
This type of transport involves renting the entire container by a single customer, regardless of its fill level. Extera handles the complete organization of the transport, including booking space on the ship, delivering the container to the loading site, executing export customs procedures, transporting the container to the delivery port, real-time tracking of the vessel’s movement, unloading the container, handling import customs clearance, and continuing the transport to the agreed destination.
Less Than Container Load (LCL):
This option is ideal if you do not have enough goods to fill an entire container. LCL shipping saves money because containers are filled with shipments from different customers, allowing you to share space and reduce costs. In addition to saving on the cost of renting a whole container, customs and documentation fees are significantly reduced, as the expenses are divided among all shippers. LCL is a more economical choice not only in terms of the container itself but also with regard to additional associated costs.
