Special containers such as reefer containers, flat racks, open-top containers and garment hangers are generally available for FCL (Full Container Load) shipments only and are not suitable for LCL (Less than Container Load). The reason is that special containers are normally used for over-dimensional, overweight, temperature-controlled cargo or goods with special stowage requirements. They require separate lashing and securing, separate OOG (Out-of-Gauge) declaration to the shipping line, and extra charges for special container usage and handling. A single large cargo usually fills the whole container. Consolidating multiple shipments together may cause conflicts in lashing plans and disputes over liability for cargo damage. Shanghai Yiqi International Freight Co., Ltd. can recommend suitable special container solutions according to the external dimensions, weight, center of gravity and handling requirements of oversize equipment: open-top containers (OT) for extra-high cargo, flat racks (FR) for overweight or irregularly shaped goods. If cargo exceeds container limits or the destination port cannot handle containerized cargo, breakbulk shipping will be adopted instead. For assessment, please provide cargo length, width, height, gross weight, packing type, port of loading and port of discharge. We will prepare proposals covering container type selection, lashing & securing and port operation coordination. The final plan is subject to the approval of the shipping line and terminal.
