FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the 3 main reason to use Less than Container Load (LCL)?

There are many reasons why customers choose an LCL service. Several reasons include:

  1. You do not have to wait to fill up an entire container with your product. You can ship as it becomes available.
  2. Economies of scale. If you do have smaller orders to ship that do not fill a whole container, moving via LCL allows for shipping without wasting space inside the container.
  3. Lower transportation costs. Only pay for what you use.

The port-to-port transit times is the same as an FCL shipment. However, there is a consolidation process required at origin and a deconsolidation process at destination that requires some additional lead time. That said, in many trade-lanes Mobilelogistix offers multiple sailings per week which can offset the longer lead time.

There is nothing to be concerned about. Security and confidentiality are ensured. Our experienced consolidation and deconsolidation teams, working from 100% security compliant facilities at both origin and destination, ensure secure loading, bracing and blocking, all under Mobilelogistix supervision.

By moving shipments via LCL and sharing a container with other customers, the number of FCLs is reduced and therefore reducing the number of containers being used thus reducing the carbon footprint. LCL, as an alternative to airfreight, greatly reduces the CO2 emissions that would otherwise be produced by airplanes.

Shipping via LCL ensures that you only pay for what you use – you do not have to pay for the entire container, just the portion you take up.

In today’s uncertain market, where freight rate and fuel prices are rising, the proportional increases for LCL shipments is much less than with a full container, making your shipping costs more predictable. And depending on how quickly you need your shipment, moving smaller sized shipments via LCL is far more cost effective than via Airfreight.
