LCL Shipping

Less than Container Load service consolidates your cargo with other shipments heading to the same destination — a practical option when you don't need a full container.

Why choose LCL

  • Pay for the space your cargo actually uses, rather than a full container
  • Cost-effective option for smaller shipments and regular restocking orders
  • Consolidation with compatible cargo bound for the same destination
  • Access to ocean freight without needing full-container volume

How LCL consolidation works

  1. 1Cargo received and inspected at CNI's origin facility
  2. 2Cargo consolidated into a shared container with compatible shipments
  3. 3Container shipped to destination port under a master Bill of Lading
  4. 4Cargo deconsolidated and released to individual consignees at destination
