LCL Shipping: Ultimate Guide
Shipping through LCL reduces time and makes shipping of SMALLER SHIPMENTS EASY.
But confused about how to do it and what’s included?
Leeline help with 10+ years of experience in HANDLING LCL SHIPMENTS. WE contain condensed information about LCL Shipping to guide you in detail. You ARE through making your first successful LCL cargo.
Keep on reading to learn to calculate the cost and procedure of LCL shipments.
What is LCL mean in shipping?
LCL shipment refers to shipping in which goods do not fill an entire container. Shippers’ goods get loaded on a container freight station and shipped together. Shippers share lower shipping costs with other shippers based on a certain volume.
Consolidating shipments saves money and transit times of shipments. It reduces the possibility of damages due to handling. The freight forwarders and carriers maintain strict safety protocols to ensure safe shipments.
How does LCL Shipping Work?
LCL serves as a cost-effective and efficient way of shipping goods. It allows many parties to share the cost of shipping a full container. The process starts with submitting documents, invoices, and bills of lading.
Then the shipping cost gets determined. That’s based on the density and volumetric weight. The higher the density and volumetric weight, the higher the cost. You also need to factor in the cost of fuel and other surcharges.
The freight forwarder arranges for the goods to get picked up and delivered to the port or warehouse. Once the goods have arrived, the freight forwarder checks them. Finally, arrange for them to get loaded into the designated container.
The container gets sealed and shipped to its destination. The container gets unloaded at the destination, and the goods get divided. Afterward, the freight forwarder arranges delivery of the goods.
It’s a great way of reducing shipping costs and getting goods to their destination in less time.
How is the LCL shipping price calculated?
LCL rates get calculated based on the following:
- Total volume or weight of the shipment
- Origin and destination of the shipment
- Type of cargo
- Extra services
- Availability of space on the vessel
- Transit time
- Handling or processing the shipment
For an accurate calculation of LCL rates, you must know your shipment’s dimensions and weight.
For calculating volume:
Measure your shipment’s length, width, and height. Then multiply these measurements to get the volume. The volumetric weight measures how much space your shipment takes up. It’s the volume of the shipment divided by the cubic meter size of the shipping container.
For calculating weight:
Multiply the volume by the shipment’s gross weight to get the total weight. Using this weight, the total cost can be calculated.

What is the difference between LCL and FCL?
LCL shipment (Less than Container Load) consolidates many LCL shipments into one. Customers use this method when a shipment occupies less than a whole container space. The benefit for LCL shippers lies in lowering shipping costs.
FCL stands for Full Container Load. An FCL shipment consists of an entire container dedicated to one customer. Customers usually use this when shipping large volumes of goods.
