Ocean Transportation Intermediary


An Ocean Transportation Intermediary is either an ocean freight
forwarder or a non-vessel operating common carrier
(“NVOCC”).  

Ocean Freight Forwarder

An Ocean Freight Forwarder is an individual or company in the
United States that dispatches shipments from the United States
via common carriers and books or otherwise arranges space for
those shipments on behalf of shippers.  Ocean freight
forwarders also prepare and process the documentation and
perform related activities pertaining to those shipments.

NVOCC

An NVOCC is a common carrier that holds itself out to the public
to provide ocean transportation, issues its own house bills of
lading or equivalent document, but does not operate the vessels
by which ocean transportation is provided, and is a shipper in
relation to the involved ocean common carrier
