But traditionally, shipping smaller loads presented a challenge: businesses either had to wait until they had enough cargo to fill a container or pay for space they didn\u2019t need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LCL shipping removes that barrier. Cargo, even a single box, can be collected from a supplier, consolidated at a warehouse, and shipped alongside other companies\u2019 goods. On major trade lanes, departures are available weekly, while global partner networks make it possible to arrange shipments from hundreds of ports worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scale of this trend can be seen in the figures reported by individual logistics providers.
