allows multi-modal transport seamlessly between trucks, trailers, port handling equipment, shipping vessels and railheads.\u00a0 The most popular shipping method all over the world is the 20-foot long shipping container (20\u2019 container).<\/p>\n<h5>20\u2019GP Shipping Container (General Purpose) Specifications<\/h5>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The 20\u2019 container is the most cost-efficient way to transport the goods to your buyer.\u00a0 It is known as a \u2018Twenty-Footer\u2019 to signify the overall length of 20 feet.\u00a0 Products are usually packed inside cartons, then cartons stacked and wrapped onto pallets and loaded inside the container for transport.\u00a0 A common way of exporting palletised cargo is 2 pallets high, 2 pallets wide, 8 pallets deep \u2013 16 pallets total.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h5>40\u2019GP Shipping Container (General Purpose)

the overall length is 40 feet and can hold double the amount of cargo.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h5>40\u2019HC Shipping Container (High-Cube)

approximately\u00a0<strong>40cm taller<\/strong>\u00a0than the GP.\u00a0 This slight increase in height allows for an extra 10-15% of cargo to be loaded inside.\u00a0 This shipping container also allows for some different packing methods which can fit more baggage otherwise unable to pack inside a standard 40\u2019GP container.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

smaller cargo when the overall size of the goods for export is not big enough to fill a 20\u2019 container.\u00a0 The shipper may only be exporting a few pallets of cargo, which will be shipped be LCL cargo.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>There are more handling costs involved when shipping LCL cargo as pallets have to be loaded and unloaded more often, incurring more handling charges.\u00a0 LCL cargo is not a cost effective method of shipment, but it allows you to ship smaller goods.<\/p>\n<p>When LCL shipping is used, the goods are still loaded inside a 20\u2019 shipping container and transported the exact same way, but the goods are loaded inside a shared shipping container along with other party\u2019s cargo to fill the container (a consolidated container).\u00a0 The freight cost is charged out depending on the overall product size or weight, the shipping rate will be charged out per cubic meter of cargo (m3) or per Metric Tonne (1,000kg) in mass, whichever is greater.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<p><!--
