Ocean Shipping
Full Container Load (FCL)
Our global reach is matched only by our local expertise. CALL's network spans continents, but our local teams ensure smooth operations — we speak the language of ports, customs, and regulations. When you choose FCL, you choose predictability: exclusive use of a container means your cargo follows a fixed schedule, with the lowest risk of delays.
FCL tends to make the most sense once your cargo volume approaches or fills a standard container on its own — at that point, sharing space with other shippers (as in LCL) rarely saves you anything, and you gain full control over loading, sealing, and scheduling.
Advantages of FCL
Efficiency
Fewer handling points — your container is sealed at origin and only opened at destination — reduce the risk of damage.
Security
Your goods travel solo — no cohabiting with unrelated cargo, and no risk of contamination or mix-ups.
Speed
FCL shipments move swiftly from port to port, without the extra time LCL needs for consolidation and deconsolidation.
Sourcing From Multiple Suppliers? Try Dedicated Consolidation
When your supply chain involves multiple suppliers, our Dedicated Consolidation service becomes invaluable. We seamlessly assemble cargo from different sources into one consignment lot, shipped in a dedicated FCL — optimizing space and cost. This is particularly useful if you're sourcing components from several factories for a single order and want them to arrive together.
Efficiency: combine shipments, reduce handling, and streamline logistics.
Cost Savings: combining multiple shipments into one reduces overall transportation costs.
Simplicity: one consignment, one container — simplified documentation and tracking.
