What are the benefits of containerization in shipping?

Difference between FCL and LCL
Ocean freight shipping is a reliable means of large-volume transportation, with options designed to accommodate varying cargo sizes, including shipments that are a full container load or less than a container load.
In FCL shipments, one party owns all the goods in a container. LCL shipments, on the other hand, involve packing multiple shippers’ goods together. Learn more about what option is right for you.
How large is a full container load?
Standard ocean freight containers are either 20 or 40 feet in length, 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet in height. Larger versions, known as “high-cube containers” are also common, measuring 40 feet in length and 9.5 feet tall.
While ocean freight container sizes are uniform, vessel sizes vary. Corresponding to the standard container size, vessels are measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (or TEUs). Container ships’ size and capacity can range from as few as 20 TEUs to more than 18,000.
