geospatialworld.net/prime/sustaina… #newarticle | Ocean shipping rates are reportedly dropping, which is accelerating the movement away from air cargo delivery. One of the shipping methods that benefit from this trend is LCL shipping (less-than-container load) which has become more prominent with the changing dynamics of manufacturing and trade worldwide, especially in Asia. As more businesses engage in international e-commerce, the need for more cost-efficient and sustainable shipping solutions arises. To maximize shipping container capacity and reduce costs, multiple shipment owners share a single container in an LCL shipping arrangement. This is generally a more sustainable option compared to FCL shipping (full load container load) given that shipment owners are often unable to fill an entire container with just their products. However, the efficiency benefits of LCL shipping do not come automatically. #shipping #logistics #sustainability #SupplyChain #LCLShipping
