A standard (twenty or forty-foot) container that is loaded and unloaded under the risk and account of the shipper or consignee.
In general, a full container load attracts lower freight rates than an equivalent weight of loose (break bulk) cargo.
During an International Move, if one has goods to accommodate in one full container load, he books an FCL (Full Container Load) to stuff his cargo. In an FCL owned by one shipper, the cargo in the container need not have fully loaded cargo in the container.
Full Container Load is also called full trailer load (FTL)
