Less-than-Container Load (LCL)
Do more with Maersk Less-than-Container Load (LCL) solutions.
Less is more
You may not always have ocean shipments large enough to occupy an entire standard-size cargo container. But the great news is that you no longer need to.
Maersk Less-than-Container Load (LCL) takes care of that situation by consolidating your shipment with that of multiple parties before it is moved to the destination.
At Maersk, we go all the way to ensure that our LCL solutions assure you with faster speed-to-market, higher inventory efficiency, and better transparency, from end to end.
Enjoy access to over 10,000 trade corridors across the world using our global LCL network services. Integrate, simplify, and connect your global logistics with a single point of contact.
