What does FCL (full container load) mean in logistics?
Short answer
A container booked and filled by a single shipper for a single consignee, whether or not it is physically full.
Indian exporters with enough volume ship FCL to avoid consolidation delays; FCL can be factory-stuffed and moved to the port under direct port entry. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
