{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"LCL Cargo Consolidation Services","description":"An LCL cargo consolidation service (Less than Container Load) combines shipments from multiple shippers into a single container for ocean transport. The consolidator—typically a freight forwarder or groupage operator—receives, stores, and groups individual consignments, issuing a house bill of lading to each shipper while a master bill of lading covers the entire container. This model gives small and mid-sized shippers access to competitive ocean freight rates without committing to a full box.
