FAQ
A Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier provides containers and ocean transport and issues its own bill of lading, without operating the ships itself. Through our NVOCC arm LINERS, we book space on carriers' vessels and manage the whole ocean leg for you.
Our focus is the Gulf, Persian Gulf, Indian Subcontinent, Far East, Red Sea and East Africa — including India–Persian Gulf, India–UAE, India–Bangladesh, India–East Africa, India–Red Sea, Singapore–Malaysia and Singapore/Malaysia/UAE–Bangladesh.
