FCL Shipping

Dedicated container capacity with predictable landed cost.

The problem

Why businesses struggle

Full container bookings are treated as a rate line, so equipment, rollovers and detention charges become someone else's problem.

Business impact

  • Rolled containers in peak season
  • Detention accruing after arrival
  • Wrong equipment for the cargo

How Bromley solves it

The process

01

Equipment matching

20ft, 40ft, high cube, reefer, flat rack or open top selected against cargo profile.

02

Carrier allocations

Contracted space on core lanes so bookings hold when capacity tightens.

03

Pre-arrival clearance

Entries lodged while cargo is on the water so containers move on the first free day.

04

Landed-cost reporting

Every charge itemised per container so purchasing can price accurately.

FAQ

FCL Shipping questions, answered

When does FCL beat LCL?+

Once your consignment fills roughly 15 cubic metres, a full container is normally cheaper and always handled less.

Which container should I book?+

We size against weight, cube and cargo type — high cube for volume, flat rack or open top for out-of-gauge, reefer for temperature control.

How do you avoid detention charges after arrival?+

Entries are pre-lodged while cargo is on the water so containers move and are returned on the first free day.

Can I see every charge before the container lands?+

Yes, landed-cost reporting itemises every charge per container so purchasing can price accurately in advance.
