Flexible and Cost-Effective LCL and FCL Shipping Solutions
At Halcon Primo Logistics, we offer both Less-than-Container Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL) services to cater to your diverse shipping needs.
Less-than-Container Load (LCL) Services
Ideal for smaller shipments, our LCL service allows you to share container space with other cargo, providing cost savings and flexibility. This option is perfect when your shipment doesn't require a full container, enabling you to ship smaller volumes more frequently.
Full Container Load (FCL) Services
For larger shipments that can fill an entire container, our FCL service offers exclusive use of the container, ensuring faster transit times and reduced handling. This option is suitable for high-volume shipments, providing security and efficiency.
Global Network and Reliable Scheduling
Leveraging our extensive global network, we provide reliable and timely shipping solutions for both LCL and FCL shipments, ensuring your cargo reaches its destination as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LCL and FCL shipping?
LCL (Less-than-Container Load): Your cargo shares container space with other shipments, making it cost-effective for smaller volumes.
FCL (Full Container Load): Your cargo occupies the entire container, offering exclusive use, better security, and faster transit times.
How do I know whether to choose LCL or FCL?
LCL is ideal for shipments that are too small to fill a full container. It is cost-effective if you don’t need the entire space.
FCL is recommended for large shipments or when you prefer exclusive use of the container for faster delivery and fewer handling risks.
What are the typical sizes of containers used for LCL and FCL?
Standard Sizes:
- 20-foot containers (suitable for 28 cubic metres or ~10 pallets).
- 40-foot containers (suitable for 58 cubic metres or ~22 pallets).
We can also arrange specialised containers like refrigerated containers, open-top containers, or flat-rack containers if required.
Are there any weight or volume restrictions for LCL shipments?
Yes, weight and volume restrictions apply to LCL shipments to optimise container space. These limits vary depending on the route and carrier. We can help you determine the best solution for your specific cargo.
How is pricing calculated for LCL and FCL shipping?
LCL (Less-than-Container Load) Pricing: Based on the weight and volume of your cargo. You only pay for the portion of the container your cargo occupies.
FCL (Full Container Load) Pricing: Based on a flat rate for the container, regardless of how much cargo is inside.
Is my cargo secure in LCL shipments?
Absolutely. We ensure that your cargo is carefully packed and separated from other shipments to minimise any risks. Additionally, we work with reputable carriers to ensure high standards of safety and security.
Can I track my LCL or FCL shipment?
Yes, we provide real-time tracking for both LCL and FCL shipments. You will receive regular updates about your cargo’s location and estimated arrival time.
How long does it take for LCL and FCL shipments to reach their destination?
Transit times depend on the shipping route and carrier schedule. Generally, FCL shipments are faster as they involve fewer handling points compared to LCL, which may require additional consolidation and deconsolidation time.
