In the world of ocean freight, you have two options: FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load). These two ocean freight modes offer distinct advantages, depending on your shipping volumes and logistical constraints. <strong>Neoline, a pioneer in sail freight, can help you choose the most appropriate solution for your shipments between Europe and North America<\/strong>, while drastically reducing the carbon footprint of your supply chain.  <\/p>\n<h2>What are FCL and LCL in shipping?<\/h2>\n<h3>FCL (Full Container Load): the complete container for large volumes<\/h3>\n<p><strong>FCL<\/strong> is the chartering of a full container by a single shipper. This sea freight solution guarantees you exclusive use of a 20-foot (33m\u00b3) or 40-foot (67m\u00b3) container, whether or not it is completely full. According to data from the World Ports Organization, FCL represents 70% of the world&#8217;s containerized traffic, confirming its popularity with exporters and importers.  <\/p>\n<h4>The advantages of FCL transport :<br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cropped-cropped-cropped-cropped-neoline.webp\"><br \/>\n<h2><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Enhanced security: your goods are not handled during transit<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cropped-cropped-cropped-cropped-neoline.webp\"><br \/>\n<h2><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Optimized lead times: no waiting time for consolidation or unbundling<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cropped-cropped-cropped-cropped-neoline.webp\"><br \/>\n<h2><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Low unit costs for large volumes<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cropped-cropped-cropped-cropped-neoline.webp\"><br \/>\n<h2><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Simplified tracking of your container<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/en\/contact\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tContact us<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1016\" height=\"831\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fcl-lcl.jpg\" alt=\"fcl lcl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fcl-lcl.jpg 1016w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fcl-lcl-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fcl-lcl-768x628.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/transport-neoline-maritime.jpg\" alt=\"transport neoline maritime\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/transport-neoline-maritime.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/transport-neoline-maritime-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/transport-neoline-maritime-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/transport-neoline-maritime-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/transport-neoline-maritime-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/transport-neoline-maritime-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/transport-maritime-fcl-lcl.jpg\" alt=\"transport maritime fcl lcl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/transport-maritime-fcl-lcl.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/transport-maritime-fcl-lcl-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neoline.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/transport-maritime-fcl-lcl-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>LCL (Less than Container Load): groupage to optimize your small consignments<\/h3>\n<p>The <b>LCL<\/b>  allows container space to be shared between several shippers.

In the world of ocean freight, you have two options: FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load). These two ocean freight modes offer distinct advantages, depending on your shipping volumes and logistical constraints. Neoline, a pioneer in sail freight, can help you choose the most appropriate solution for your shipments between Europe and North America, while drastically reducing the carbon footprint of your supply chain. What are FCL and LCL in shipping? FCL (Full Container Load): the complete container for large volumes FCL is the chartering of a full container by a single shipper. This sea freight solution guarantees you exclusive use of a 20-foot (33m\u00b3) or 40-foot (67m\u00b3) container, whether or not it is completely full. According to data from the World Ports Organization, FCL represents 70% of the world&#8217;s containerized traffic, confirming its popularity with exporters and importers. The advantages of FCL transport : Enhanced security: your goods are not handled during transit Optimized lead times: no waiting time for consolidation or unbundling Low unit costs for large volumes Simplified tracking of your container Contact us LCL (Less than Container Load): groupage to optimize your small consignments The LCL allows container space to be shared between several shippers. This solution is ideal for companies who don&#8217;t have enough goods to fill an entire container. Your goods are consolidated with other shipments at the port of departure, then unbundled on arrival for delivery to the respective consignee. The advantages of LCL transport : Affordability: you only pay for the space you use Flexible shipping for SMEs and start-ups Ideal entry point to international markets An eco-responsible solution that optimizes container filling How do you choose between FCL and LCL for your shipments? Decision criteria for your logistics strategy Volume: a determining factor The tipping point for switching from LCL to FCL is around 15 cubic meters. Above this threshold, FCL generally becomes more cost-effective, even if your container is not completely full. Volume: a determining factor Neoline offers transparent and predictable lead times on its transatlantic route: Saint-Nazaire ? Saint-Pierre &amp; Miquelon 8-day round trip Saint-Nazaire ? Baltimore : 13 days \/ Return : 15 days Shipping frequency With Neoline, shipment frequency is optimized thanks to regular monthly rotations on the transatlantic route. This stable planning enables companies to organize themselves efficiently, whether their volumes require FCL or LCL. Eventually, with the arrival of the second vessel, Neoline plans to double the frequency to offer one departure every 2 weeks. These times include loading\/unloading operations, and remain competitive with traditional sea freight, while offering a drastic reduction in carbon emissions. Criteria FCL LCL Optimum volume &gt;15m\u00b3 &lt;15m\u00b3 Cost per m\u00b3 More economical Higher Deadlines Faster Longer Security Maximum Standard Frequency Occasional Regular Roll-on\/roll-off and containerized freight solutions with Neoline Rolling freight: optimizing your wheeled loads The rolling freight is the specialty of Neoliner Origin.
