Worldwide Logistics Solutions

How is LCL different from FCL?

LCL (Less-than-Container Load) consolidates multiple shippers’ cargo in one container. FCL (Full-Container Load) is one shipper’s cargo occupying the entire container. LCL is cost-effective when you don’t have enough volume for FCL.

Who is responsible for customs when cargo is consolidated?

MSF Logistics handles consolidated documentation and can act as the customs broker on instruction. Responsibility and Incoterms are defined in your service agreement.

What are typical transit times for consolidated cargo?

Transit times vary by route, mode (ocean vs air) and consolidation schedule. MSF provides transit estimates at booking and updates in real time.

Can I insure my consolidated shipment?

Yes — MSF offers tailored cargo insurance options and will advise on coverage based on cargo value and route.

What happens if one constituent shipment is delayed?

We manage timelines and communicate impacts. Depending on priority, we can either hold at the hub for the scheduled consolidation or route expedited via the next consolidation flight/container.
