Our sea freight solutions include:
- Full Container Load (FCL)
- Less than Container Load (LCL)

- Port-to-port shipment arrangements
- Door-delivery coordination where required

FCL – Full Container Load Shipping
For businesses moving larger cargo volumes, FCL shipping provides dedicated container space for a single shipment.
ProTrade coordinates container bookings and routing according to cargo requirements and available sailing schedules, helping exporters and importers manage international container shipments efficiently.
FCL can be suitable for businesses that require:
- Dedicated container capacity
- Larger shipment volumes
- Flexible routing and sailing options
- Reduced cargo handling compared with consolidated shipments
- Import or export container movement
Our team coordinates the shipment from booking and documentation through carrier and overseas-agent communication.
LCL – Less than Container Load Shipping
Not every shipment requires an entire container.
LCL shipping allows smaller shipments to move as consolidated cargo, making sea freight accessible to businesses that do not have enough volume to fill a complete container.
ProTrade’s LCL solutions support importers and exporters looking for a practical balance between cargo volume, shipping cost and international reach.
Our team helps coordinate consolidation, documentation, routing and destination handling according to the shipment requirements.
FCL or LCL: Which Should You Choose?
| FCL | LCL |
|---|---|
| Dedicated container | Shared container space |
| Suitable for larger shipments | Suitable for smaller cargo volumes |
| Less consolidation handling | Cargo consolidated with other shipments |
| Cost based largely on container | Cost typically based on shipment volume |
| Useful for regular/high-volume cargo | Useful for lower-volume shipments |
