Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier services for flexible, cost-effective ocean shipping.
As a licensed NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier), World Trans & Logistics offers the flexibility and cost advantages of a shipping line without owning vessels. We purchase container space in bulk from major ocean carriers and resell it to our clients at competitive rates.
This model allows us to offer flexible booking options, consolidated container services, and our own House Bills of Lading, giving you more control and better pricing than dealing directly with shipping lines for smaller volumes.
Our NVOCC operations are backed by full FMC and local licensing, comprehensive cargo liability coverage, and a dedicated team of ocean freight specialists based in Dakar.
Bulk purchasing power with major carriers means lower per-unit shipping costs for you.
More flexible booking deadlines and cargo acceptance compared to direct carrier bookings.
One WTL team handles everything from booking to delivery, simplifying your logistics.
Full NVOCC cargo liability coverage under our operating license for your peace of mind.
An NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) is a carrier that issues its own bills of lading and sells ocean freight without owning ships. It buys capacity from shipping lines in volume and offers it to shippers, often with more flexible rates and consolidation options.
A freight forwarder arranges transport as your agent; an NVOCC acts as a contractual carrier and issues its own house bill of lading, taking responsibility for the cargo. WTL offers both, so you get forwarding flexibility with carrier-level accountability.
As an NVOCC, WTL consolidates volume on the main lanes into Dakar, giving competitive rates, reliable space, and a single house bill of lading, plus local BESC validation, customs clearance, and onward delivery that a foreign line cannot provide.
Yes. WTL's NVOCC service pairs ocean carriage with Senegal-side BESC/ECTN validation, GAINDE customs clearance, and onward transport, so your shipment is handled end-to-end rather than just port-to-port.
