LCL consolidation can be divided into direct consolidation or transshipment. Direct consolidation refers to the loading and unloading of goods in the consolidated container at the same port without unpacking before the goods arrive at the destination port, meaning that the goods are at the same unloading port. This type ofLCL service has a short delivery time, is convenient and fast, and generally strong LCL companies will provide this type of service. Transshipment refers to the unloading or transshipment of goods in containers that are not at the same destination port and need to be unpacked or transshipped midway. Due to factors such as different destination ports and long waiting time for shipment, this type of LCL cargo has a longer shipping time and even higher shipping costs.
