Ocean LCL

  • Destination deconsolidation planned ahead of time to limit storage and double handling.
  • Chargeable rules evaluated for lightweight bulky vs dense cargo to avoid surprises.
  • Sailing and CY visibility shared so planners see ETD / ETA windows early.

Why LCL

Multiple shippers share one container, spreading ocean freight and terminal handling across shipments.

Works well for pilot SKUs, regional warehouse drip feeds or any scenario needing steady cadence without tying up a full container.

How it moves

Delivery to CFS → consolidation & VGM → export clearance → ocean leg → deconsolidation → delivery or DC intake.

When several shipments share one consignee, we can merge scanning and pallet builds at CFS to reduce splits at destination.

Typical users

Cost‑first programmes, sub‑FCL volumes and high‑SKU‑mix sellers balancing inventory turns.
