BECKER LINES / INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS

Full container load · FCL

FCL gives one shipment exclusive use of a container. It suits larger consignments, full household moves and cargo requiring its own loading plan. We coordinate equipment, positioning and sailing arrangements.

01

Select the container around the cargo

Weight and package dimensions matter as much as volume. Dense cargo may reach weight limits before filling the container. Door clearance, loading access and any need for high-cube or special equipment must also be checked.

02

Loading, securing and terminal delivery

Confirm the loading location, handling equipment and time required before positioning the container. Weight distribution and securing are essential. Terminal delivery must meet booking deadlines; late preparation can affect the sailing and create extra charges.

03

Understand the complete container cost

Ocean freight is one cost component. Inland transport, port handling, documentation and destination services depend on the agreed scope. A 20ft estimate does not apply automatically to 40ft or special cargo; equipment conditions are confirmed in the offer.

Planning ranges based on market references and corridor estimates, not confirmed rates or door-to-door prices unless expressly stated. Direction, ports, dates and dimensions affect the amount.

Your questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Must an FCL container be completely full?

No. FCL reserves exclusive use; your cargo does not have to fill the available space.

Can loading take place at our premises?

It can be assessed if access, handling equipment and loading time are suitable. These arrangements must be agreed before positioning the container.

When should I use a 20ft or 40ft container?

The decision depends on weight, volume, door clearance and loading layout. A larger container does not necessarily double the permitted payload.

Does the quoted freight include every charge?

Not necessarily. Collection, port handling, documentation, customs, delivery and taxes must be identified separately so the full service scope is clear.

Which departure port should I use?

The choice depends on collection location and available connections. We compare Spanish and other European ports with inland transport and destination arrangements.

Can non-stackable cargo be shipped?

It can be assessed, but extra space may increase the price. Declare fragility, projections and stacking restrictions before requesting a quotation.

Are all sea routes direct?

No. Some require transshipment or connecting road transport. The itinerary and expected stages are confirmed for the specific booking.

What happens after the vessel arrives?

Cargo must be released and available before collection. Documentation and inland transport should be coordinated with terminal deadlines and any storage-free period.
