The difference between FCL, bulk cargo and LCL

What is the difference between FCL, bulk cargo and LCL? With the rapid development of international trade, the logistics industry is constantly providing its transportation services. Container transportation is widely used. The next thing to understand is FCL, bulk cargo and consolidation. The difference between boxes:


Bulk cargo: refers to bulk cargo, cargo that cannot be packed in containers


LCL: refers to the goods placed in the container, put together with other goods, and put together a container. To inquire about the LCL price, you must know the weight and the number of squares of the goods. If the goods are too heavy, you need to know the number of pieces. Usually light goods are charged according to the number of squares. In addition, pay attention to the port of destination charges when inquiring.


Less-than-container cargo: a relative term for FCL cargo, which refers to small-ticket cargo that does not fill a full container. This kind of cargo is usually collected by the carrier separately and collected at a container freight station or inland station, and then two or more cargoes are assembled in a container, and the same must be at the destination container freight station or inside. Unpack the boxes and deliver them separately. For this kind of goods, the carrier has to bear the packing and unpacking operations, and the packing and unpacking fees are still charged to the cargo party. The carrier's responsibility for LCL cargo is basically the same as that of traditional grocery transportation


FCL: A relative term for LCL. The consignor is responsible for packing, counting, stowage and lead-sealed freight. The unpacking of FCL is generally handled by the consignee. However, you can also entrust the carrier to unpack the container at the freight station. However, the carrier is not responsible for cargo damage or poor cargo in the box. Unless the cargo party proves that it is the damage caused by the carrier's liability accident, the carrier is responsible for compensation. The carrier uses the container as the delivery unit for the entire container. As long as the appearance of the container is similar to that when it is received and the lead seal is complete, the carrier has fulfilled the responsibility of the carrier. The FCL freight bill of lading must be added with the clause of 'consignor packing, counting and sealing'.


The difference between bulk cargo and LCL?


The difference between LCL and bulk cargo. For the cargo owner, if the exported goods are only a washing machine, or 2 cubic meters of cotton, it is not full of a container. At this time, he needs to find a freight forwarding company and a small amount of cargo from other cargo owners. Put them together and fill a container together, which is LCL. As for bulk cargo, the concept is very big and contains a lot of things. For example, grains, ore, etc. belong to the category of bulk cargo. Generally, containers are not used for transportation, but bulk ships are rented for transportation.

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
