Ocean shipping involving the United States is subject to a specific regulatory framework that affects companies participating in these operations.<\/p>\n

Within this framework, the Federal Maritime Commission<\/strong><\/a> (FMC) regulates the activities of ocean transportation intermediaries operating in U.S. international trade.<\/p>\n

Logisber Forwarding is registered with the agency as a Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC), allowing the company to provide these services for ocean shipments involving the United States in accordance with the requirements established by the FMC.<\/p>\n

What is the Federal Maritime Commission?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Federal Maritime Commission is the U.S. federal agency responsible for overseeing the international ocean transportation system involving the United States.<\/p>\n

Among its responsibilities is the regulation of Ocean Transportation Intermediaries (OTIs), a category that includes Ocean Freight Forwarders and NVOCCs.<\/p>\n

The FMC maintains a public database where users can check which operators meet the applicable regulatory requirements. This allows exporters and importers to verify the status of the companies they work with for their ocean shipping operations.<\/p>\n

What does it mean to be an NVOCC?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

NVOCC stands for Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier.<\/p>\n

An NVOCC is an operator that provides ocean transportation services without directly operating the vessels on which the cargo is transported.<\/p>\n

In its relationship with the customer, an NVOCC may issue its own House Bill of Lading. It then contracts the necessary cargo space with the ocean carrier that physically transports the goods.<\/p>\n

This structure allows an ocean shipping operation to be organized under the NVOCC\u2019s own contractual documentation with the customer, while the actual transportation is carried out by ocean carriers.<\/p>\n

Registration of Foreign NVOCCs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Companies established outside the United States that want to operate as NVOCCs for shipments subject to FMC regulation may apply for registration with the agency.<\/p>\n

To do so, they must meet the requirements established by the Commission. These include submitting the appropriate registration through Form FMC-65 and providing proof of the required financial responsibility.<\/p>\n

They must also notify the FMC of their tariff publication through Form FMC-1.<\/p>\n

Meeting these requirements allows the operator to appear in the FMC\u2019s official records and conduct business as an NVOCC within this regulatory framework.<\/p>\n

Logisber in the FMC\u2019s Official Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Logisber Forwarding appears in the Federal Maritime Commission\u2019s official records under organization number 022668.<\/p>\n

For companies conducting ocean shipping operations with the United States, being able to verify this information through an official source provides an additional reference when selecting the operator responsible for their shipments.<\/p>\n

It also confirms that Logisber can provide NVOCC services for shipments regulated by the FMC and issue its own House Bill of Lading for these operations.<\/p>\n

Ocean Shipping Operations with the United States<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The United States is one of the world\u2019s major international trade markets and has specific requirements that should be considered from the transportation planning stage.<\/p>\n

Before starting an operation, it is necessary to review the characteristics and requirements of the goods and properly prepare the documentation. It is also advisable to work with operators that understand the regulatory framework applicable to U.S. ocean shipping.<\/p>\n

The experience of a freight forwarder is particularly important when an operation involves different jurisdictions and requires coordination between transportation activities and the obligations established at destination.<\/p>\n

At Logisber, we work to ensure that our international operations are properly planned and carried out in accordance with the requirements applicable in each market.<\/p>\n

Our registration as an NVOCC with the Federal Maritime Commission strengthens this capability for ocean shipping operations involving the United States.<\/p>\n

Contact our team<\/strong><\/a> if your company imports or exports goods by sea to or from the United States and you need support determining the best way to organize your next shipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ocean shipping involving the United States is subject to a specific regulatory framework that affects companies participating in these operations.
