FCL (Full Container Load) means the shipper books an entire container for their own cargo. It is one of Goodwills' core services: through strong partnerships with container shipping lines and a worldwide agent network, we move cargo from anywhere in the world into Vietnam (import) and from Vietnam to global markets (export).
When should you choose FCL?
- Your shipment is large enough that LCL charges approach the cost of a 20' container.
- Your cargo needs its own seal and should not share a container with other shippers.
- Fragile or high-value goods that should avoid extra handling at a CFS warehouse.
- You need predictable transit times for production planning.
