SHIPPING
FCL Shipping from China to UK
You pay for the entire shipping container when transporting goods via FCL shipping. This means that the whole container would be used for your merchandise only, granting you enough flexibility over your cargo load. You also take control over the loading and unloading of your goods, preventing scenarios of poor cargo handling.
Generally, you want to ship via FCL when you're shipping beyond ten standard pallets or 14 CBM. Another reason is the security and handling of your cargo. Shipping via FCL is also faster than other sea freight modes, as they don't need to undergo many processing hubs as others do.
FCL shipping may be door-to-port, port-to-door, or door-to-door, varying in terms of how comprehensive your freight package is. Common container loads in FCL include 20-foot, 40-foot, and 40-foot high cube shipping containers, capable of storing from a range of 10 to 25 European pallets.
SHIPPING
LCL Shipping from China to UK
Less than a Container Load, or LCL, refers to shipments where a container is shared by various shippers. You only need to pay for the freight space that your goods have occupied, making LCL shipping very cost-effective. In turn, your cargo is placed alongside other shippers' cargo.
Low shipment volume under 13 CBM is generally more suitable to transport via LCL, as it would be a bit wasteful to secure an entire container without filling it up. For urgent shipping in peak times, LCL freight spaces may be easier to get than FCL. Using LCL for excess cargo that won't fit in one container is also good.
There are several types of LCL, such as palletized and loose cargo. If you want your goods to be safe when in transit, opting for palletized ones is best. This also reduces the rate of lost or misrouted products. Loose cargo, on the other hand, isn't as safe as the previous one, albeit popular in Asia.

How to Ship from China to UK by Sea Freight
You can use various methods to transport your products via sea freight forwarding. From renting an entire container for your cargo to sharing it with other shippers like you, ZGGShip offers you different sea freight methods to move your products securely and quickly from China to the United Kingdom.
Full Container Load (FCL)
Shipping via full container load (FCL) refers to paying for the entire shipping container, either 20-foot or 40-foot, for moving your goods. Take control of cargo loading and unloading for safer handling and have enough space for you.
Less than Container Load (LCL)
If you want to pay only for the amount of space your goods occupy, that works too! Using less than a container load (LCL) shipping, you can transport your goods at more economical prices, whether via palletized or loose LCL cargo.
Bulk Cargo
Items and goods like oil and coal are classified under bulk cargo, which is further categorized into dry, liquid, or free-flowing. We can also transport goods that are non-containerized, such as vehicles and plane parts.
Out of Gauge (OOG)
Shipping products that do not fit inside the standard containers are generally done with out-of-gauge (OOG) freight. This also applies to goods with abnormally shaped indivisible loads (AILs), such as aircraft components and colossal machinery.
Roll-on/Roll-off
Using roll-on/roll-off (RORO) freight forwarding is applicable when you are planning to transport wheeled cargo. You may move your goods using pure car carriers (PCC), pure truck carriers (PTC), or other types of RORO.
Reefer Container
Transport perishable and temperature-sensitive goods like fruits, food, and others, safely and on time using reefer containers. By refrigerating these perishable products, they would maintain their quality when being transported.
