What is NVOCC?
What is NVOCC? NVOCC is the abbreviation for the English phrase "Non - Vessel Operating Common Carrier" . NVOCC is understood as a company doing business in the field of marine transportation. These companies often focus on doing business in the field of ocean freight. Therefore, they are often considered ocean carriers, but they are different from shipping lines and do not own a ship.
However, these companies can still issue secondary Bills of Lading (House B/L) and price lists (Tariff Rates) to customers and directly sign service contracts (Service Contact) with shipping lines. If you want to become an NVOCC Company, you first need to be a Freight Forwarder. Through the concept of Freight Forwarder and NVOCC, it can be seen that FWD units often have a broad business field with many different service areas and transportation methods. Meanwhile, NVOCC only does sea freight business. In other words, FWD does many businesses in logistics, while NVOCC usually only specializes in shipping business.
* For example, Expeditors International, who is ranked No. 1 by Descartes Datamyne in the Top 50 NVOCC operators (Asia/USA) shipped about 423,000 TEUs for 2022,…They will have very favorable prices on all including the carriers they use, based on their volume support. A shipper or forwarder who may be shipping 10,000 or 20,000 TEUs per year (as large as the current situation is) may not be able to secure similar rates from carriers.
An NVOCC Company may and sometimes may own and operate their own containers or lease them and depending on the different types of contracts, an NVOCC Company is suitable for the status of a “Supplier”. ” virtual and in certain cases accept all the liabilities of a service provider.
Where this is reasonable, NVOCC will have their own agent at the unloading and loading port to handle cargo and container release requests for customers. For a carrier, having a customer like NVOCC can also be beneficial due to the volume they can support, which then becomes a background commodity for the carrier.
Why should businesses use NVOCC?
When transporting goods by container, one must consider many factors such as bringing the goods to the container yard or Container Freight Station (CFS), properly packaging the goods, and ensuring the safety of the goods in transit. throughout the journey, properly unloading the goods at the destination, and finally, clearing the goods through customs and other inspection procedures. Therefore, to carry out these procedures smoothly and avoid unnecessary risks, certain businesses use NVOCC as their intermediary. This is necessary if you are not proficient in the profession, then using an intermediary will help you reduce risks, costs and time.

What are the reasons why businesses should use NVOCC?
- Easy Documentation:
NVOCCs issue their own Bill of Lading. When it is issued by the NVOCC it is called the House Bill of Lading or HBL. This makes the documentation process much easier for customers.
- Network Efficiently with Local Authorities:
NVOCCs often maintain a good network of relationships with local trucking associations, trade unions, port Customs, etc. Such a diverse and effective network will help complete the job smoothly. and with minimal disruption. Therefore, a well-connected and well-established NVOCC in the industry can help mitigate the risks associated with trucking, labor union issues – especially at ports and other Other situations are considered normal collateral by large shippers and forwarding companies.
- Personal service:
A key advantage when you deal with NVOCC is that they provide a seamless and personalized service to their customers, unlike a large Shipping Company that often deals with a very large number of customers. All logistics functions can be assigned to NVOCC who can provide these services for you. It can also ensure that you get the best shipping rates whenever possible.
NVOCC can offer several sailing options because they work with different ocean carriers. Tracking your goods is vital when meeting deadlines and business commitments. Most NVOCCs offer online Track and Trace facilities that help businesses find where their goods are during transit. Information about patterns and trends in lead time (time taken from origin to destination) is valuable to businesses for planning and forecasting.
- Transport goods easily and at more favorable prices:
NVOCC has a lot of experience so it will help you easily work with direct transport service providers, usually shipping lines, especially in case you are a small-scale business. The advantage of NVOCCs is that they can negotiate to achieve better prices from large shipping agents or forwarding companies. These lengthy work processes are often cut short in NVOCCs to facilitate business operations.
NVOCC is often in a better position to offer you lower rates than a mainline carrier. NVOCCs negotiate and receive better prices from shipping lines so they can do business in large quantities. They can pass on some of these savings in the form of better rates to customers. Small business owners themselves will not be able to receive these reduced rates if they contact a shipping line directly.

Difference between NVOCC and Freight Forwarder
Once you know what NVOCC is, learning about the difference between FREIGHT FORWARDER and NVOCC is also very necessary for those who are involved in the import-export and sea transport process. Specifically, the difference between these two concepts is shown in:
- Firstly: NVOCC only refers to sea transport services while Freight Forwarder has a broader concept, it provides services for many forms of transport by sea, road and air;
- Second: NVOCC is considered like a virtual shipping company "Virtual Carrier" because they do not own the ships but have the same responsibilities as a shipping company;
- Third: NVOCC owns or can rent containers for its operations while Freight Forwarder does not;
- Fourth: Freight Forwarder can make reservations with shipping lines (Shipping Line) to meet customer needs, but cannot make reservations to North America (North America Trade) but must go through NVOCC because there is FMC Licensing. At that time, Freight Forwarder will be an agent or partner of NVOCC;
- Fifth: In reality in Vietnam, the concept of NVOCC is quite rare because almost all service providers in this transportation field are Freight Forwarders and in fact they can also issue secondary bills of lading to customers. (House B/L);
- Sixth: However, to provide sea freight to North America (North America Trade), the Freight Forwarder must become an NVOCC according to FMC regulations. From there, NVOCCs will have the ability to establish service contracts (Service Contact) with shipping lines (Shipping Lines) for direct customers or for Freight Forwarders when the companies' customers are customers. This has a request. Then Freight Forwarder will become an agent or partner of NVOCC Companies => Customers should choose NVOCC transportation service providers instead of Freight Forwarders not only in terms of price but also because NVOCC has higher responsibility and reputation than businesses.
