FCL is the abbreviation for a "Full Container Load" used in the International shipping Industry for Exporting and Importing sea freight cargo. This term is commonly used to describe an international sea freight service that is designed for ocean freight shipments of cargo where an exporter or imported has exclusive use of a dedicated sea freight container (normally a 20Ft or 40ft container).
