non vessel operating common carrier

Maritime law. A freight forwarder that does not own the means of trans-portation, but that contracts with a shipper to transport freight, and with a carrier to perform the transportation.

• The non-vessel-operating common carrier becomes the carrier in the contract with the original shipper, and the shipper in the contract with the eventual carrier. See FREIGHT FORWARDER. — Abbr. NVOCC.
