What are NVOCC services?
NVOCC or Non-Owned Shipping Services refers to companies that do not own ships; But they act as load carriers. These companies often use other ships they own for cargo transportation services.
These companies, without directly owning the ship, use different ships such as flat rack, open top and open side to transport cargo depending on the needs of the customers. They usually sign long-term contracts with ship owners to rent and use transport space for various cargoes. In practice, the NVOCC acts as the primary freight forwarder; But it does not own and manage the ship.
When using these services, pay attention to the following points:
- Fees: Freight charges and container berth fees may vary. Compare costs carefully before choosing an NVOCC company.
- Terms of the contract: Make sure you read the terms of the contract with the NVOCC company carefully and agree to all the terms and conditions related to insurance, shipping schedule and payment method.
- Quality of service: Check whether the company guarantees that your cargo will reach its destination on time and safely.

Rail transportation refers to the transportation of cargo through the railway network and stations. This method of transportation is an effective way to transfer goods, which is much appreciated due to its speed and capacity compared to truck transportation.
A freight train can carry much more cargo than a truck. This creates a significant advantage for rail transport, as on a larger scale, transport costs are reduced and less labor and energy are required to transport the same amount of cargo. Rail transport, both domestic and international, is carried out by transport corridors designed to move loads.
How NVOCC companies work in the field of marine transportation
NVOCC companies, or common carriers without ship owners, operate in the field of maritime transport. Cargo and goods transportation services in these companies are performed by renting a part of the space of a ship. For example, to import tires from China, NVOCCs first enter into contracts with ship-owning shipping companies to ship clients’ cargoes.
After the agreements and signing the contract, these companies can reserve 20-foot containers, 40-foot containers, shipping lines, etc. in their name, and then the goods are sent to customers through sea transportation services. NVOCC also includes ancillary services such as LCL services through CO-LOADING.
These companies act as effective intermediaries in the supply chain and by providing diverse and extensive services, they help customers to improve their cargo transportation process and do it more efficiently and at a more reasonable cost.
In addition, these companies can provide related services such as consulting in the field of logistics and customs issues, cargo packaging and labeling, and financial and insurance matters for their customers.
