What is LCL in ocean shipping?
Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipping allows multiple shippers to share space in a single container. You pay only for the space you use, measured in cubic metres (CBM). LCL shipping is ideal for smaller loads or irregular shipment volumes (less than 15 CBM or 2-3 pallets).
