=== Full container load ===
A full container load (FCL)<ref>John Good https://www.johngood.co.uk/ufaqs/difference-fcl-lcl/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511110457/https://www.johngood.co.uk/ufaqs/difference-fcl-lcl/ |date=2021-05-11 }}</ref> is an [[ISO standard]] container that is loaded and unloaded under the risk and account of one shipper and one consignee. In practice, it means that the whole container is intended for one consignee. FCL container shipment tends to have lower [[freight rate]]s than an equivalent weight of [[cargo]] in bulk. FCL is intended to designate a container loaded to its allowable maximum weight or volume, but FCL in practice on [[ocean freight]] does not always mean a full payload or capacity – many companies will prefer to keep a 'mostly' full container as a single container load to simplify logistics and increase security compared to sharing a container with other goods.
