Premier FCL Freight: Trusted Container Shipping Specialists
FCL (Full Container Load) is the top sea freight mode for importers shipping 15+ CBM out of China. Your cargo fills an entire container exclusively, sealed at the factory and opened by the buyer. As a leading FCL freight forwarder, TheWan books direct-contract space with the top global ocean carriers for trusted rates and professional service guarantees.
Our expert FCL team books every standard container type: 20'GP (33 CBM, ~28,000 kg payload), 40'GP (67 CBM, ~26,500 kg), 40'HQ (76 CBM, ~26,500 kg), and 45'HQ (86 CBM, ~27,500 kg). For specialty cargo, we book 20' and 40' reefer (cold chain -25 to +25 Celsius), 20' and 40' flat-rack (oversized cargo, vehicles, long machinery), 20' and 40' open-top (tall cargo, mining equipment), and 20' ISO tank containers (liquid bulk, chemicals).
We support both CY/CY factory loading (the container moves to your factory, your team loads, returns to port) and CFS bonded warehouse loading (our expert team supervises loading at our Qingdao warehouse). Verified Gross Mass (VGM) declaration under SOLAS is handled by our trusted operations team, with all top carriers' SI deadlines tracked and met.

What is FCL freight forwarding?
FCL (Full Container Load) means a leading freight forwarder books an entire container exclusively for one consignee. Your cargo is the only cargo inside; the container is sealed at the factory and opened by the buyer. Top option for shipments above 15 CBM.
Which FCL container sizes do you book?
All standard equipment: 20'GP (33 CBM), 40'GP (67 CBM), 40'HQ (76 CBM), 45'HQ (86 CBM). Special equipment: 20'/40' reefer, 20'/40' flat-rack, 20'/40' open-top, 20' ISO tank for liquids.
How is FCL different from LCL?
FCL fills one container exclusively, with faster transit, no consolidation handling, and stronger security. LCL shares container space, billed per CBM, ideal for cargo below 12-15 CBM. Our expert team picks the right mode by volume and budget.
What is the cheapest way to ship FCL from China?
Direct port-to-port FCL with a top carrier is the cheapest. Our trusted contracts with COSCO, CMA, MSK, and EMC unlock professional rates. Avoid transshipment routes when possible to cut transit time and damage risk.
Can I load my own goods into the FCL container?
Yes. Two options: factory loading (CY/CY) where the container moves to your factory, your team loads, then it returns to the port; or CFS loading where our expert team supervises loading at a bonded warehouse.
What is the maximum weight for FCL containers?
Standard payload: 20'GP ~28,000 kg, 40'GP ~26,500 kg, 40'HQ ~26,500 kg, 45'HQ ~27,500 kg. Top carriers apply Verified Gross Mass (VGM) under SOLAS; we coordinate VGM declaration with the trucker and terminal.
Do FCL rates include destination charges?
Quotes can be FOB (no destination charges included), CIF (origin + sea freight + insurance), or DAP/DDP (full destination charges). Our professional team disclose every charge so importers compare apples to apples.
How fast does FCL move compared to LCL?
FCL is 5-10 days faster than LCL on the same route because there is no consolidation, deconsolidation, or warehouse handling. Top importers prefer FCL even at 14-15 CBM to save handling time.
Can you book FCL for special equipment like reefer or flat-rack?
Yes. Our trusted operations book all special FCL: reefer for cold chain (-25 to +25 Celsius), flat-rack for oversized cargo (long machinery, vehicles), open-top for tall cargo, and tank container for liquid bulk.
Which ports support FCL departures from China?
Top FCL ports: Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen (Yantian and Shekou), Guangzhou (Nansha), Xiamen, Tianjin (Xingang), and Dalian. Our expert team books direct sailings at any port without transshipment when possible.
