What characterizes a Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) shipment?

A shipment that fills an entire container
A collective of multiple small shipments in one container
A cargo that exceeds container limits
A shipment greater than a truckload

The correct answer is: A collective of multiple small shipments in one container

A Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) shipment is characterized by its nature of involving multiple smaller shipments that are combined into a single container for transport. This method allows for cost-effective transportation for businesses and individuals who may not have enough goods to fill an entire shipping container. By pooling various smaller shipments together, carriers can maximize the use of space within the container and optimize logistics efficiency. LCL shipments are particularly advantageous for companies that need to send smaller quantities of goods internationally but wish to avoid the high costs associated with booking a full container. This collaborative shipment approach can facilitate faster and more flexible shipping options for businesses with varying shipping needs.
