Full Container Load refers to a shipment where an entire container is used exclusively by one shipper for transporting goods.
How It Works:
- The exporter books a full container.
- Goods are loaded into the container.
- The container is sealed and transported to the port.
- It is shipped directly to the destination.
- The importer receives the full container.
Benefits:
- Reduces risk of damage or mixing with other cargo
- Faster transit compared to shared shipments
- Suitable for large volume shipments
- Provides better control over goods
Example:
A manufacturer ships a full container of products to an overseas buyer without sharing space with other shipments.
