Definition

A Non-vessel Owning / Operating Common Carrier, commonly abbreviated as N.V.O.C.C., is a transportation intermediary that does not own any vessels but acts as a carrier and operator in the shipping industry. N.V.O.C.C.s play a vital role in facilitating global trade by consolidating shipments from multiple shippers into larger cargo loads for ocean transport. They have contracts with various ocean carriers and provide comprehensive logistics services to shippers, including booking cargo space, issuing their own bills of lading, and arranging transportation.
