CaroTrans, the leading global NVOCC (non vessel operating common carrier) recently announced the expansion of its global network through their new LCL (less-than-container load) export service from Miami, Florida to Itajai, Brazil. The ocean freight consolidator’s newest shipping route option is now available to transport cargo coming to and from Brazil, which is quickly emerging as an important trade region for international containerized shipping. Aside from LCL, CaroTrans also provides FCL (full container load) services for its customers.
Transporting cargo through an NVOCC can raise uncertainties for exporters and importers. These operators are cargo shipment integrators and often do not own a transport vessel of their own. There are risks that include: unsafe cargo warehousing, tampering or falsification of shipping documents such as the bill of lading and non-discriminating NVOCCs booking vessel space from shipping liners whose container ships are unfit to sail. Shippers who need to transport their cargo through these agents have to make sure that the NVOCC and its transportation affiliates are insured, experienced and trustworthy.
There are software solutions available for NVOCCs that feature fully integrated shipping software solutions including NVOCC software and container tracking software, delivering unparalleled streamlining of operations, enhanced communication between shipping agency and shipping liner and complete security throughout cargo transit.
These software solutions are developed by shipping software companies who have vast experience in the global liner shipping industry. By utilizing the most advanced shipping software solutions currently available, NVOCCs and other shipping integrators can reassure exporters and importers that the integrity of all their cargo shipments will always be maintained.
