The role of acting as “carrier to shippers” and “shipper to carriers” is unique to NVOCC(Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers) operators.
This dual role is possible because the NVOCC agency negotiates with shipping lines to obtain better rates in exchange for large volumes of business. Thus, NVOCC tends to be the largest trade maker for container shipment.
Here are some reasons why you as a shipper choose an NVOCC service.
Better Rates
Small to mid-size businesses may have limited bargaining power, and thus may struggle to obtain better prices from large shipping agencies or freight forwarders.
Service tailored to you
When dealing with NVOCCs, one of the key advantages is that, unlike a large shipping company that works with a large number of customers, they provide smooth and customized service to its clients.
Doing business has never been easier
NVOCCs give you the freedom to work with a smaller company rather than a major corporation, such as a shipping line. Smaller businesses, particularly those with a small workforce or IT infrastructure, should be concerned about this.
Efficient Network with Local Bodies
NVOCCs typically have a good network of ties with local trucking groups, labor unions, port customs, and other organizations.
Ease of Documentation
The Bill of Lading is issued by NVOCCs themselves to the shipper known as a House Bill of Lading. The documentation procedure is much simplified as a result making it easier for customers.
Diversified Carrier Mix Risk Mitigation
It's critical to diversify your carrier portfolio and have flexible options. NVOCCs have the flexibility and resources to mitigate these risks and ensure a seamless delivery process while keeping prices reasonable.
