Sing and smmile exports

Less than container load (LCL) is a shipment that is not large enough to fill a standard cargo container.

Less Than Carload or Less Than Container Load is “a quantity of cargo less than that required for the application of a carload rate. A quantity of cargo less than that that fills the visible or rated capacity of an ocean container.”

A system of transportation used specially in international trade, where various shippers pool their boxed goods in the same container.

In August 2006, Young Brothers Limited, a shipping company, was granted additional land on Kahului harbor on the island of Maui, Hawaii for LCL shipments after Young brothers requested a 24% rate hike.

UPS and DHL offer LCL service for ocean freight.
