N.V.O.C.C.

(Non-vessel Owning / Operating Common Carrier): An N.V.O.C.C. is a transportation intermediary that operates as a carrier without owning any vessels. They act as intermediaries between shippers and ocean carriers to provide transportation services for cargo shipments. N.V.O.C.C.s consolidate smaller shipments from multiple shippers into larger, more cost-effective loads for ocean transport.
