Shippers Bay’s Easy FCL Shipping

Fast quotes, simple booking, and full control for your full container shipments

What is FCL Shipping?

FCL means Full Container Load. Your shipment gets its own container — no sharing with other shippers. This is the best choice when you have a large volume of goods to ship by sea.

How Does FCL Shipping Work?

For door-to-door FCL shipping, here’s the usual process:

  1. Container Delivery: A container is delivered to your location to load your goods.
  2. Loading Options:
    • Drop and Pick: Container stays at your location for a few days so you can load at your pace (more costly).
    • Live Loading: Container stays on a truck, which waits while you load (faster and cheaper but limited time).
  3. Sealing & Transport: Once loaded and sealed, the container is taken to the port.
  4. Shipping: The container is loaded onto a ship and transported overseas.
  5. Delivery: At destination, after customs clearance, your container is delivered and unloaded.

When Should You Choose FCL?

  • You have a large shipment — typically 6 pallets or more for a 20ft container, or 12 pallets for a 40ft container.
  • You want to reduce handling to protect your goods from damage or contamination.
  • You want your container sealed from start to finish for security.
  • You want a predictable and straightforward shipping process.
If your shipment is small but you want maximum protection, FCL is better than LCL, or consider air freight if speed and budget allow.
