Frequently Asked Questions
An FCL (Full Container Load) shipment refers to the use of an entire container by one consignee, without sharing space with other shippers. This term is commonly used in sea freight and is ideal for larger shipments. The two standard container sizes are 20-foot and 40-foot, both available in regular or high cube variations.
FCL pricing typically consists of two major components: the container freight cost and the chassis fee, which covers the transportation of the container to or from a shipping terminal. If shipping under an FOB (Free on Board) agreement, additional costs like destination port fees, customs duties, and trucking fees should also be considered.
The container size for your FCL shipment will depend on the size and weight of your cargo, as well as any regulatory or safety requirements. Common container sizes and their capacity is listed below:
Yes, Silq provides Full Container Load (FCL) shipping services for non-hazardous, temperature-sensitive shipments.
Yes. We have contracts with asset owners and trucking companies in every market that we service. With that, we can ship your cargo right from your factory to your warehouse.
While FCL containers are typically used for single shipments, Silq offers a unique Shared Container Load (SCL) solution designed for high-volume shippers. SCL enables accredited shippers in the Silq network to pool their shipments with each other, maximize container utilization, and minimize waste.
FCL tends to be cheaper when measured by volume, but if the total shipment is too small to fill an entire container, LCL (Less than Container Load) may be more cost-effective. Shipping costs benefit from economies of scale, so larger shipments generally lead to more savings over time.
