Full Container Load – FCL Shipping

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping provided by Latin American Cargo is a secure and efficient method for transporting cargo between Canada and El Salvador.

With FCL, the entire ocean container is filled with your merchandise, ensuring exclusive access and control over the packing and security of your goods. This method is considered one of the safest and most cost-effective ways to ship goods internationally.

FCL offers more control over shipping conditions and eliminates the need to share container space with other shipments. Our FCL ocean freight services give businesses the peace of mind that their goods are transported in a dedicated container, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of damage.

Our specialized service caters to the shipping needs of companies looking for reliable and controlled transportation for their cargo.

Less than a Container Load – LCL Shipping

Less than a Container Load (LCL) shipping offered by Latin American Cargo is economical for transporting smaller cargo volumes. LCL is the way to go if you don’t have enough goods to fill an entire 20- or 40-foot ocean container.

LCL freight involves sharing container space with other customers shipping to the same destination, resulting in more affordable rates for shipping small quantities.

This method allows businesses to avoid the cost of shipping a full container while still benefiting from ocean freight services. LCL is particularly suitable for shipments that don’t require a dedicated container.

Our services provide a cost-effective option for businesses moving smaller cargo volumes from Canada to El Salvador, enhancing flexibility and affordability in international shipping.
