FCL stands for Full Container Load and refers to the shipping method and content when senders ship a container at sea.
The greatest merit of this transportation method is that packing the cargo into a container (known as "vanning") can reduce the risk of damage while in transit.
Containers are based on standard measurements with 20 ft containers and 40 ft containers, and come in a variety of types; a box-shaped dry container covered on all four sides; an open-top container; flat rack containers that can accommodate cargo from the front, rear, left and right; and reefe containers for refrigerated/frozen cargo.
It is necessary to select the appropriate containers to accommodate the specific cargo type, characteristics, and handling specifications, and each destination is equipped with a massive freight loading/unloading apparatus called a gantry crane that provides quick and reliable unloading for all shipments to ensure delivery.
Suzue has a long history in the transportation business, and we will provide you with the most suitable means of transportation to suit the needs of your cargo.
LCL stands for Less than Container Load, and refers to a method of transporting multiple shippers' cargoes (mixed) in a single container. It is the best way to transport goods (small cargo) of less than the one container used in FCL transport.
Costs can be determined per container if a FCL shipment contains enough content to completely fill the container, but costs may be considered expensive if there is not enough cargo to fill the container.
LCL (mixed loading) transport solves this problem. The advantage of this transportation method is that the customer only needs to pay a structure-based fee on the quantity (weight or volume) of the freight, and transportation can be made cheaper than FCL.

Modal Shifts in Means of Transport
This is an environmentally friendly method of transportation that involves massive bulk transport, and through this method greenhouse gas emissions can be greatly reduced, especially when compared with standard truck transport.
With this method of transportation it is possible to transport a variety of specialized vehicles, including heavy machinery, special equipment, tank tread trucks, and more.
This is a method of transporting large cargo such as long, heavy, or bulky goods that can not fit in containers.
Suzue has experience shipping not only general cargo such as building materials, steel products, CKD and more, but also competitive yachts, large cruisers, heavy-duty vehicles, heavy construction machinery, freight cars, and our fleet also features specialist vessels for transporting specific equipment for manufacturing plants like trucks and other machinery, as well as bulk vessels for the shipping of soybeans, barley/wheat, sugar, etc.
With many year of experience delivering heavy loads/manufacturing plant materials between Japan and foreign countries/transporting between other countries, Suzue utilizes it's overseas network, centered around Asia, and a highly-trained staff dedicated to a polite and attentive "Japanese style" of service to provide our customers with fast and secure international transportation.
Although there are certain restrictions on the type, size and weight of the cargo, this is a reliable means of transportation especially for urgent shipments with priority on prompt delivery.
This method ensures quick delivery even at long distances, so it is best suited for fresh produce, fish, flowers, medical goods, etc., that are sent directly from the production location. In addition to the short transportation time, this method ensures increased safety for goods brought to the airport due to the strict control protocols that have been enacted with recent efforts to deter terrorism on a global scale. High security is required for all luggage aboard the aircraft as well, and air transportation is said to be one of the most safe and secure methods of shipping.
At Suzue, we offer safe, secure and optimal transportation methods suitable to our customer's specific cargo and requests.
We also advise our customers on export clearance and other various procedures, in addition to arranging for cargo storage and packing for subsequent exportation after imported cargo has been received. We also provide a singular point of contact to our customers to facilitate all of their needs and arrangements for sea and air transportation quickly and reliably.
Utilizing the abundant domestic and overseas network of the Suzue Group, we provide our customers with polite and attentive service from our initial proposal, tendered to accommodate our customer's request, all the way to the reception and completion of delivery.
