What Does The Whole Box Of FCL in The Sea Mean?

FCL is the first letter of Full Container Load, which means "full box", commonly known as "whole box" or "whole box". The whole box of goods is opposite to the illustrations, which refers to a large ticket that can be filled with one or more whole boxes. In the transportation of sea transport containers, the most common container specifications are 20GP (commonly known as 20 -foot general cabinet), 40GP (commonly known as 40 feet of general cabinets) and 40HQ (commonly known as 40 -foot high cabinet). A 20GP can be equipped with about 30 cubic (CBM) goods, a 40GP can be equipped with 65 cubic goods, and a 40HQ can be equipped with 75 cubic cubic goods.

The illustrations are responsible for loading and boxing by the illustration company (freight forwarding). The whole box is different. The whole box is generally the shipper is responsible for loading and adding a lead. However, the shipper can also send the goods to the container yard and entrust the cargo generation or professional packing company to install it. This model is commonly known as "interior". An important difference between the whole box and the illustration is: the whole box, using the box as the handover unit, the container transfer method FCL-FCL; the illustration cargo, the small ticket cargo as the handover unit, the container transfer method LCL-LCL.

The operation method of the whole box is: a cargo owner's ticket, because the amount is relatively large, it is cost -effective to consignment according to the entire box. The owner directly reserved and consigned the shipping company (in accordance with the entire box) to order and consignment or commissioned the goods to the shipping company (according to the whole box). Among them, the owner's ordering of the bicycle directly to the shipping company is very rare, and basically it is to book the bicycle from the shipping company through the freight forwarding.
