Sea Freight - FCL & LCL International Shipping

Sea freight is a cost-effective option for international shipments where price matters more than speed. This short explainer gives an overview of how container shipping works and when sea freight is the right choice for your goods.

In this video, you'll learn:

  • The difference between Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL)
  • How sea freight shipments are arranged from booking through to delivery
  • What to consider when choosing between a full container or shared container space

Sea freight allows businesses to move goods internationally at lower cost, whether shipping large volumes in a full container or smaller consignments that share space with other cargo. Pallet2Ship provides access to established sea freight services covering major international ports, with clear processes and support throughout the shipment.
