Groupage/LCL from China to Kenya

One way shippers around the world are coping with tight shipping times and rapidly changing demand is to keep more inventory. But there is another way. You can use less than container load (LCL), which enables you to ship more frequently and reduce inventory costs.

Is LCL shipping right for you?

Before going all in, make sure you check the warning to see if it's the right choice for your business. Integration will only work if your service provider has enough scale or a large enough customer base to integrate your product. If they're not that large, your shipments may end up in port waiting for someone else's product. So, before you choose a supplier, make sure they have sufficient quantities in your aisle to keep your LCL shipments moving seamlessly. Also note that if your supplier consolidates multiple LCL shipments into an FCL, you may pay more than you expect due to freight handling charges charged at the port of destination.

Although, LCL shipping provides weekly shifts, timely transit, and even lower cost than FCL. But keep in mind that if your service provider doesn't have enough quantities to keep your shipments moving, this may not be a faster or more economical option.

Which goods are suitable for LCL shipping?

Typically, the smallest quantity of cargo that can be cost-effectively transported by expedited LCL service is 500 kg or 2 cubic meters, but the required transit time is still longer than air freight. Only goods that can solve the problem of increased transportation time are more suitable for expedited LCL transportation.

How to choose LCL and Shuangqing for sea bulk cargo?

LCL and double-clearing of bulk cargo are currently the two main logistics methods for LCL by sea. For international trade, better use of these two methods can not only save costs, but also meet the requirements of foreign customers.

However, the choice of LCL or double clearing of bulk cargo should be decided according to the customer needs of the destination port, or the difference between the two and the overall cost of the two should be informed to the customer, and the customer will make the final choice.

The importance of break-away system in transportation business

In the logistics industry, the efficiency of transportation management will directly affect the core competitiveness and development level of enterprises. Therefore, enterprises must build relevant management systems to improve their transportation management efficiency.

The LCL system plays a central role in transportation management, and its influence pervades every link of the transportation process, from container loading and price review to financial management and bill of lading management. By deploying a robust transportation management system, businesses can gain broad, in-depth visibility, enabling more efficient transportation planning and execution, and improving customer satisfaction.
