FAQs about
FCL loads

If you don’t find the answer to your question,
drop us a message.

Can you guarantee space in peak season?

We can’t give 100% guarantees, but we take steps to maximise access – securing space early, working with multiple carriers and using alternate gateways. The earlier you get in touch to plan your shipment, the more options we’ll be able to offer, including planning backup options in advance.

How do you minimise D&D charges?

During the planning phase, we’ll talk you through demurrage and detention risk and present the most appropriate strategy to control your costs. We aim to clear documents early, pre‑book delivery slots, and liaise with haulage services to ensure availability. If delays do happen, we can look at a change of port, storage options or swapping time slots to recover.

Can you handle split deliveries or multi‑drop deliveries?

Yes. All you need to do is let us know the consignees, time windows, and any offloading constraints. Our team will handle the rest, including sequencing, vehicle type, and re‑palletisation if needed. We’ll confirm site requirements and give you clear, itemised pricing before dispatch.

What’s the difference between standard and high‑cube?

High-cube containers offer additional internal height – providing an ideal option for lighter, bulkier cargo. Talk to CECL to check if this is a feasible option for your shipment. We’ll look at door heights, load plans, and weight distribution to see if a high-cube container would better serve your needs, and give you a clear cost-benefit analysis.

What if our plans change at the last minute?

With CECL, you’ll always have access to a named decision maker at our end who can advise and authorise changes immediately. Depending on the situation, we can re‑cut documents, switch services, or adjust haulage – whatever’s needed to meet your updated needs. If that impacts the cost or duration of your shipment, we’ll present clear options so you can make an informed decision without adding delay.
