FCL and LCL Shipment

LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shipments calculated in CBM (Cubic Meter). You only pay for the volume you use—ideal when you don’t have enough goods for a full container. BuzyB consolidates your cargo with others, saving you money while maintaining reliable transit times.

How Does LCL Shipping Work?

1. How Does LCL Shipping Work?
2. Collection – We pick up goods from different customers.
3. Consolidation – All cargo is packed into one shared container at our warehouse.
4. Shipping – The container is loaded onto a vessel and transported to the destination port.
5. Deconsolidation – At arrival, the container is opened and goods are separated.
