The most common shipping way

Sea Freight (Cost saving)
Almost 90% of the products in the world are shipped by sea.
Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than a Container Load (LCL)
Before finalizing the procedures for your sea freight transportation, you will have to choose between a Full Container Load or a Less than a Container Load.
Full Container Load (FCL) will allow you to use a container just for your cargo, without sharing it. This is especially suitable if the cargo volume lets you fill up a 20 or 40-foot container, because each container can carry a total of 33CBM per 20 feet container, 67CBM per 40 feet container, 76 CBM per 40 feet high cute container or 86CBM per 45 feet container, details please find the container dimensions.

In that way, you will take more advantage of the transportation cost, as FCL shipping begins to be more profitable when you fill up more than half of a container; besides, you will also benefit from a Full Container Load if you want to avoid any damage or contamination in case of sharing a container with other traders.
In other situations, less than a Container Load (LCL) -sharing a container- will let you save on shipping quote, in case the volume you need is not enough to fill up a container or you are not concerned about the risks associated to sharing the container. This way involves sharing the container with other goods belonging to other traders, but you pay only for the space used by your cargo, with great savings on your shipping costs.
