LCL stands for ‘Less than Container Load’. It is a flexible and cost-effective container option where the shipper shares container space with the shipments that belong to other people. When the cargo size does not demand much space and time sensitivity related to delivery time is less, it is beneficial to opt for consolidated transport with GML international shipping company.

Facing the dilemma to choose between FCL (Full Container Load) shipping and LCL (Less Than Container Load)? Our expert team will make it easier for you to select the best container option by assessing various factors such as the volume of your shipment, size, time sensitivity of delivery and beyond. So without delay get in touch with GML's Experts to save your time and money.

FCL stands for ‘Full Container Load’. It is a single container booked by a shipper exclusively to transport goods for enhanced safety and security. The shipper benefits from booking FCL through GML Logistics Company in many ways as it is one of our core competencies. Whether hazardous goods or non-hazardous goods, we not only cater to the customized needs related to the special containers but we also ensure safe handling of the goods from the stage of loading to warehousing till the final delivery of the goods. A shipper pays for the entire container as the large volume of goods occupies the whole container space.

A Hazmat (also known as dangerous or hazardous material) is any material that poses a serious threat to health, property and safety when transported. The term “HAZARDOUS” in the context of international logistics indicates greater care in handing the goods. Thus, it is important to choose a reliable logistics company that pursues proper packaging, handling, storage and transportation of Hazardous goods.

Hazardous materials are classified based on specific physical and chemical properties. A few products appear harmless. However, when transported via air, they can be dangerous due to vibrations, temperature, static electricity, and pressure variations that may generate toxic fumes, cause leakage, trigger a fire or even lead to an explosion in case the product is not handled safely. A few such products include Lithium Batteries, Dry Ice, Aerosol whipped cream and more.
