What is full container cargo?

Full container cargo refers to a shipping method where an entire shipping container is utilized for transporting goods, as opposed to sharing the container space with other shipments (as in Less than Container Load, or LCL). This method is often more cost-effective for large shipments and provides better security and protection for the cargo. Full container loads (FCL) can typically accommodate a variety of goods, allowing for efficient logistics and streamlined handling at ports.
