FAQ

The information you need to provide to a freight forwarding company will vary depending on the specific services you need. However, some of the most common information that freight forwarders need includes:

  • The origin and destination of your shipment.
  • The weight and dimensions of your shipment.
  • The type of goods you are shipping.
  • The value of your shipment.
  • The desired shipping date.
  • Any special requirements for your shipment (such as customs clearance or temperature-controlled shipping).

There are many different types of freight forwarding services, including:

  • Ocean freight forwarding: This type of freight forwarding is used for shipping goods by sea.
  • Air freight forwarding: This type of freight forwarding is used for shipping goods by air.
  • Rail freight forwarding: This type of freight forwarding is used for shipping goods by rail.
  • Truck freight forwarding: This type of freight forwarding is used for shipping goods by truck.
  • Consolidated freight forwarding: This type of freight forwarding combines multiple shipments into one container or truck for shipping.This can save you money on shipping costs.
An NVOCC, or Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier, is a company that provides ocean freight transportation services without owning its own ships. NVOCCs act as intermediaries between shippers and carriers, consolidating shipments from multiple shippers into larger containers or vessels that are then shipped by carriers.

There are many benefits to using an NVOCC, including:

  • 1. Convenience: NVOCCs can handle all of the details of the shipping process, so you don't have to. This can save you time and hassle.
  • 2. Expertise: NVOCCs have extensive experience in the shipping industry and can help you find the best possible shipping solution for your needs.
  • 3. Cost-effectiveness: NVOCCs can often negotiate better rates with shipping carriers than you can on your own. This can save you money on your shipping costs.
  • 4. Peace of mind: NVOCCs have a vested interest in ensuring that your shipments arrive safely and on time. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your goods are in good hands.

We offer a variety of services as an NVOCC, including:

  • Ocean freight forwarding: We can arrange for the transportation of your goods by sea, from any port in the world to any other port in the world.
  • Customs clearance: We can handle the customs clearance process for your shipments, ensuring that your goods are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations.
  • Documentation: We can prepare all of the necessary documentation for your shipments, including bills of lading, customs declarations, and insurance certificates.
  • Tracking: We can track your shipments in real time, so you can always know where they are and when they will arrive.
  • Claims: If your shipment is lost or damaged in transit, we can file a claim with the shipping carrier on your behalf.

As mentioned above, an NVOCC is a company that provides ocean freight transportation services without owning its own ships. A freight forwarder, on the other hand, is a company that can arrange for the transportation of goods by any mode of transportation, including ocean, air, rail, and truck.

In general, NVOCCs focus on ocean freight transportation, while freight forwarders offer a wider range of services. However, there is some overlap between the two services, and some companies offer both NVOCC and freight forwarding services.
