LCL Consolidation, run like a real ocean booking
LCL consolidation, deconsolidation and sea groupage from all Italian ports, with weekly LCL services from Ravenna and the same visibility we give to FCL.
A real LCL service, not a leftover container
Many forwarders treat LCL as the cargo that did not fit somewhere else. We treat it as a planned weekly service — with stuffing, documentation and visibility built around it from day one.
Planned consolidation, not residual space
Weekly LCL programmes from Italian gateways, with stuffing plans drawn around the cargo mix — not bookings squeezed into whatever space was left at cut-off.
Stuffing and labelling done properly
Pallet labelling, segregation, dunnage and load plans done in our consolidation warehouse — so the cargo arrives identifiable, intact and easy to deconsolidate.
Visibility on every unit
Every pallet and every package tracked on the file — not just the master B/L. Buyers and consignees see what is theirs, when it lands.
Italian gateways, weekly programmes, full attention
LCL is a discipline. Delta Novel runs it on Italian gateways with the same attention to cut-off, documentation and chain-of-custody as a deep-sea FCL.
Italy-out LCL
Weekly LCL services from Ravenna and all Italian ports — Genoa, La Spezia, Livorno, Venice, Trieste and Salerno — on the main Mediterranean and global lanes.
Italy-in LCL
Inbound LCL deconsolidation in Italy, with arrival notice, customs hand-off and last-mile delivery on one file.
Sea groupage Europe
Italy-Europe and intra-Med sea groupage on regular sailings, with consolidated customs.
Project & DG-aware LCL
Hazardous, oversized and special cargo handled in LCL where the rules and the cargo allow it.
Stuffing in our warehouse
Consolidation done in-house, with photographic load plans and seal control on every container.
Live LCL rates
Real, bookable LCL rates for registered clients, sailings and cut-offs included. The number confirmed at booking is the number on the invoice.
Pallet staging & cargo mix
Cargo is staged by destination, weight and stack-ability before stuffing — so the load plan is real, not improvised at the container door.
- Staging by destination and weight
- Stack-ability and segregation checks
- Photographic record per pallet
Labelling & identification
Every pallet and every package is labelled to a standard the destination handler can actually read — so deconsolidation is fast and nothing goes missing on the warehouse floor.
- Standard destination-friendly labels
- Reference codes per consignee
- Photo evidence on file
Container stuffing
Stuffing is supervised, dunnage is added where it matters, and the seal is recorded against the load plan — every container has a paper trail back to the pallets inside it.
- Supervised stuffing with load plan
- Dunnage and securing where required
- Seal recorded against the manifest

LCL is rarely standalone — warehousing, customs and ocean freight tend to sit on the same file.
