LCL Consolidation
As per your costing shipping in a full container load is not worth as the total quantity and volume is too less to load in to a container. This is called LCL shipment, means Less Container Cargo shipment. Here, you contact a freight forwarder or consolidator to accept your shipments to move to the final destination at Antwerp. The freight forwarder accepts your cargo. The said freight forwarder accepts the LCL cargo from other exporters also to make his container full. Other exporters’ goods to other destinations also may have in the container. So your cargo with other exporters’ cargo is loaded in to a container and moves to the transshipment port. The freight forwarder (carrier of your cargo) will have their associates working in the said transshipment port.
