Full Container Load
Standard (20` or 40`(ft)) container that is stuffed (loaded) and un-stuffed (discharged) under the risk and account of one shipper and only one consignee, "in practice it means whole container is intended for one consignee."
FCL container shipment attracts lower freight rates than an equivalent weight of cargo in bulk.
The FCL means the loading reaches its allowable maximum weight or full measurement. In practice, the FCL in the ocean freight does not always mean packing a container to its full payload or full capacity.
