- A 40ft Container: If your cargo can fit a typical four-bedroom house or bigger, go with this option.
When you select the container that meets your needs, take the next step, and decide on your load options. If you have enough room in the container, you can choose the Less Than Container Load (LCL) option. It allows for cargo belonging to different parties to be loaded in the same container. You get to split the cost with the others. If your shipment does not leave enough room for sharing, go with the Full Container Load (FCL) option.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cargo determines how much space you'll need for unpacking.
You'll need lots of space to unload a 20ft cargo because it has 25-28cbm of usable area. This cargo space is the same as the room you need to hold ten or eleven regular pallets.
The FCL routes are simple to follow. Once your goods have been placed within the container, it will not be opened or updated. It is quickly transported to the destination port, as agreed in your contract.
LCL shipping involves several difficult procedures, such as dealing with multiple consignees, getting goods to various ports, and reworking shipments.
When shipping freight, a bill of lading is required. The bill of lading (BOL) acts as a freight receipt, a freight carrier-shipper contract, and a title document. The bill of lading is a legally binding document that provides all of the information necessary for the driver and carrier to properly manage and charge the freight shipment.
If you lose your bill of lading, you should notify your carrier so that their shipping line may issue a replacement. If your cargo has already reached its destination and you will face demurrage or storage fees, or if you intend to clear the container quickly, you must notify them to release the bill of lading.
As long as the shipping firm offers a tracking system, the current position of the container may be traced at any time. To track a container's whereabouts, you must supply the tracking number container number/Bill of lading/Booking number as well as the shipping line. Any of these three references may be used to track a container and discover where it is.
A tracking number is a unique identification number or code issued to a shipment or cargo. The tracking number is usually displayed as a barcode on the shipping label, which anybody with a bar code reader or smartphone may scan.
Each country has its own set of export and import restrictions and prohibitions.

Shipping containers are airtight and waterproof, with small pressure-activated vents near the ceiling on the sidewalls. These vents are designed to aid with heat and moisture build-up. These, on the other hand, aren't always effective in stopping condensation on the roof's bottom or on the walls.
Meanwhile, shipping containers are waterproof. They can withstand water and other harsh weather conditions. If a shipping container falls into the water while being transported by sea, it is intended to float. However, its content will likely get soaked in water. Not all shipping containers are watertight.
The maximum container weight varies depending on the type and grade of the container. The container's doors and CSC plate carry the capacity and measurement information.
20' and 40' steel or aluminum containers are the most typical dry containers. The following are the maximum weights for several container types:
20ft Container
● 2.300 kg/5.071 lb.Tare Weight (Empty Shipping Container)
● 25.000 kg/ 55.126 lb. Payload (Maximum freight weight that a container can transport)
40ft Container
● 3.750 kg/8.268 lb. Tare Weight

Cargo insurance is necessary to protect cargo from inevitable losses that occur during product transportation.
Carriers do not guarantee the safe delivery of cargo. There's always the possibility that the containers will be damaged while being transported. To make matters worse, under the terms of the contract or by legislation, the carrier may be immune from obligation for cargo loss or damage.
Ocean carriers, in particular, are well-protected under maritime law. If your products are lost or damaged while being transported by sea, there is no guarantee that the ocean carrier will be held responsible.
