Some FAQ
An NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) acts as an intermediary between shippers and ocean carriers. While it doesn't own or operate ships, it purchases space on vessels from shipping lines and resells it to customers. NVOCCs issue their own bills of lading, consolidate smaller shipments into full containers, and often handle the documentation and customs clearance, making the shipping process smoother for businesses.
While both NVOCCs and freight forwarders assist with the transportation of goods, the main difference is that an NVOCC operates as the carrier of goods, issuing its own bill of lading and taking on liability for the shipment. In contrast, a freight forwarder arranges transportation services but doesn’t assume the role of the carrier and typically works with an NVOCC or a shipping line to move goods.
Using an NVOCC offers several benefits, including: • Cost savings: NVOCCs consolidate shipments from multiple customers, enabling you to share shipping costs. • Flexibility: NVOCCs often offer a wider range of services and can work with different carriers to find the best shipping solutions. • Simplified documentation: NVOCCs handle all necessary paperwork, such as bills of lading, making the shipping process smoother. • Global reach: NVOCCs have relationships with multiple carriers and can facilitate shipping to and from many global destinations.
No, when you work with an NVOCC, you don’t need to deal with multiple carriers directly. The NVOCC acts as a single point of contact for all your shipping needs and handles relationships with the underlying shipping lines. This simplifies the process, as you only need to interact with the NVOCC to book, track, and manage your shipments, regardless of which carriers are involved.
