FCL and LCL Ocean Freight Solutions

AGC handles both full container and shared load shipments across key international shipping routes, coordinated from booking through to delivery.

FCL (Full Container Load)

FCL gives your business exclusive use of a container, with full control over loading schedules, transit times, and cargo security on ocean freight routes.

Benefits

  • Faster transit with no co-loading delays at origin
  • Lower risk of damage with sole container use
  • Cost-effective for large or regular volume shipments
  • Proactive milestone updates throughout transit

Ideal for:  High-volume exports or imports, time-sensitive cargo, and goods requiring controlled handling.

LCL (Less Than Container Load)

LCL lets your business share container space with other shippers, keeping sea freight costs manageable when your volume does not fill a full container.

Benefits

  • Pay only for the space your cargo occupies
  • Flexible scheduling for smaller or irregular shipments
  • Access to the same global ocean freight trade lanes as FCL
  • Consistent shipment visibility at every stage
Ideal for:  Growing businesses, trial shipments, seasonal cargo, and smaller regular import volumes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I get ocean freight rates for my shipment?
    Share your origin, destination, cargo type, and volume with AGC’s team and we will provide a tailored rate within 1 business day. Rates depend on trade lane, carrier availability, and container type, so a detailed enquiry gets you the most accurate figure.
    FCL gives you exclusive use of a container while LCL means your cargo shares space with other shippers. FCL suits larger, regular volumes. LCL works better for smaller or irregular shipments where paying for a full container would not be cost-efficient.
    AGC provides customs clearance management and handles import declarations, biosecurity requirements, and Australian Border Force compliance directly. You deal with one team throughout clearance and delivery at every stage.
    AGC operates across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, the USA, and Latin America. Our carrier partnerships give us access to priority space allocation on major routes into Australian ports including Melbourne, Brisbane, and Fremantle.
