FCL or Full Container Load is an ISO standard (International Organization for Standardization) which refers to a 20 or 40ft container loaded with cargo, utilizing the entire space of the container.
On the other hand, LCL or Less than Container Load is a shipment that does not occupy the entire space of a standard sized container. In such instances, several shippers load their cargo onto this single container. While LCL is the inexpensive option for small shipments, it costs more per unit of freight when compared with FCL.

As there isn’t a single predictor or reason in the market, but a varying of factors including (but not limited to); destination/ distance, currency, cargo type, fuel costs, seasons, vessel size, rates and costs fluctuate.
