LCL freight transportation allows for a more flexible schedule, that enables you to book and send your shipment on demand, rather than waiting until you have enough goods for a FCL (full container load) shipment, with weekly consolidation services and door-to-door delivery.
We use technology to enhance your shipping experience and reduce risk. By digitising your data, we analyse performance to provide the best advice on sailing schedules that get your goods to their destination more efficiently. From vendor to final delivery, your cargo moves through dedicated facilities and specified, time-lined milestones, that are predictable, reliable and measured.
Weekly shipments mean your cargo stays on the move using only trusted carriers.
You learn a lot being in the industry for over 40 years. Our experts are here to support you.

LCL, also known as part load, stands for Less-than Container Load. This term refers to the shipping of smaller ocean consignments, generally less than 20 CBM, which do not require a full containers capacity. Horizon Crest Hub Global Logistics specialise in LCL shipments and are able to consolidate multiple LCL shipments to create a full load. LCL shipments are seen as a more economical alternative to airfreight, for smaller and less time sensitive goods.
Less-than Container Load (LCL) allows you to maintain a smaller, more adaptable product inventory, as you don’t have to wait for a full container worth and therefore can ship more frequently. Full Container Load (FCL) is ideal for those moving bulk items and large-volume products. Read more on container FCL or LCL here. Or discuss it with our knowledgeable team who can best advise.
