First, we have to be familiar with what the modes of shipping are. They are Full Cargo Load (FCL) and Less Than Cargo Load (LCL). Full Cargo Load (FCL) is when a client decides to fill up one container for the shipment. The client is responsible for packing and unpacking the container from the departure point to the destination. Once this is sent for shipping, it will go directly to the destination port. Less Than Cargo Load (LCL) is when multiple clients make use of one container. The shipping company will have to pack and unpack the items for shipping. Once it is sent for shipping, the container can go through multiple ports. It can get reworked and reorganized through each stop. This is why an LCL shipment is slower than an FCL.
