FCL container service to the Dominican Republic
With one of the country’s major ports located on its southern coast, Full Container Load (FCL) cargo shipping to Santo Domingo is a great option when selecting a container service to the Dominican Republic.
When shipping cargo equivalent to the volume 10 standard pallets (the size of each standard American pallet is 39.37 inches wide and 47.24 inches long) can hold, you should consider FCL shipping in a 20-foot container as it is one of the best shipping services available for said volume. If your cargo volume fits on 21 standard pallets, a FCL 40-foot container would be the better option.
FCL or LCL for your ocean freight to the Dominican Republic
Choosing between a full container (FCL) and a shared container (LCL) for your ocean freight shipment to the Dominican Republic is one of the first decisions you must make.
In general, if you are shipping sensitive goods, FCL would be the way to go as it reduces the risk of contamination and damage. LCL shipping would be more appropriate for low-volume and less-sensitive goods as since you will be sharing the container with other merchandise, you will only have to pay for the space your cargo occupies.
