So what’s an NVOCC you ask
NVOCC stands for Non-vessel Operating Common Carrier. Many people confuse NVOCC with freight forwarding companies. Although both the companies are completely different from one another they do perform some cross functions that make them sound similar.
The job of an NVOCC company is to rent space on sea vessels for your cargo at a special rate. These companies’ book spots beforehand and then lease out space after the freight forwarding company declares a ship as full. Other than this NVOCC companies also take care of your documentation and take full responsibility for your cargo.
In case of any loss or damage, you can file a claim against the NVOCC Company. They are fully responsible to handle the claim and provide whatever was decided. There is not much difference between an NVOCC and a freight forwarding company other than not owning a ship. NVOCC companies provide their own bill of lading. You can easily tell if you are dealing with an NVOCC or a freight forwarder by looking at the bill of lading. If the company you’re dealing with is an NVOCC you won’t get a direct mention of the company you are dealing with, instead, you would see NVOCC as an intermediary.
