FCL (Full Container Load)

When it comes to moving, you have a choice. You can choose to share your shipment with another shipper and pay more for less space in your container, or you can choose JMR’s Full Container Load (FCL) service. When you go FCL with JMR, you get all of the space in your shipping container to yourself—no sharing necessary. We use 20′, 40′, and 45′ HC containers depending on the volume of your move.

We specialize in these types of moves throughout the world. Our offices are based in every major seaport in the world, and we have tier one direct contracts that allow us to provide market rates that are more competitive than our competitors’.

LCL (Less-Than-Container-Load)

That’s where Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) service comes in. It allows you to share a container with other shippers and thus consolidate a container that wouldn’t be full otherwise. It allows for a more flexible delivery and more availability in very busy periods, ensuring your goods are always on the move.

How does LCL shipping work?

LCL shipping services are designed for you, and they take care of your cargo from start to finish. After contacting us and providing us with all the information about your goods, they will be either collected from your warehouse or dropped off by you at our warehouse. Your cargo will then be grouped with others, loaded and sealed at a Container Freight Station, and it will leave for your destination on a ship after having gone through customs clearance. Upon arrival, the container is unstuffed, and your cargo is shipped either directly to you or to our warehouse for you to pick up.
