Understanding LCL Shipping from Dubai to Seychelles
What Is LCL?
LCL (Less than Container Load) allows multiple shippers to share container space. If your cargo volume is smaller than a full container, LCL is the most cost-effective option.
Benefits of LCL Shipping to Seychelles
✔ Lower shipping cost
✔ Pay only for used cargo volume
✔ Flexible shipment frequency
✔ Ideal for SMEs and regular importers
LCL shipping is especially beneficial for businesses importing small batches or mixed goods.
FCL Shipping from Dubai to Seychelles
For larger cargo volumes, FCL (Full Container Load) offers greater control and faster handling.
Advantages of FCL Shipping
✔ Exclusive container use
✔ Reduced cargo handling
✔ Lower risk of damage
✔ Better for sensitive or high-value cargo
Masterglobal Logistics provides both 20ft and 40ft container solutions depending on cargo type and weight.
