How does an NVOCC work?

An NVOCC, or Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier, is a type of ocean transportation intermediary (OTI)– an ocean carrier who specializes in providing transport service, but, unlike ocean freight forwarders, does not own their own ships. They are common carriers who typically acquire space on vessels and containers through leasing or purchasing transactions with ocean carriers, then use their own House Bill of Lading to make contractual arrangements with customers. An NVOCC is able to provide customers with cost-effective transport solutions while avoiding the risks associated with owning and operating a fleet of vessels. They can also be more flexible and responsive to customer’s needs than other shipping companies as they are able to quickly adjust their operations according to market demands.
