Services 

As a non-vessel operating common carrier or NVOCC, Comage Container Lines offers distinct advantages for customers. Comage provides the full range of supply chain services anywhere in the world. By outsourcing transportation and shipping to Comage, customers can concentrate on their core businesses and be assured of efficient, timely and professional services in either receiving goods or getting their goods to market.

NVOCC vs. VOCC

A VOCC would typically operate anywhere between 40 to 80% of its own fleet on its various routes worldwide, with the remaining percentage of its routes being shared on other carrier’s vessels. As an NVOCC, Comage does not own or operate any fleets. Instead, it shares 100 per cent of fleet requirements with marine transportation companies and other common carriers. As such, an NVOCC can focus on the full range of customer services.

Same Rights and Strengths

An NVOCC has similar rights, responsibilities and privileges as a VOCC under international maritime laws. Comage holds global contracts with VOCCs and offers its customers the same strengths, advantages and opportunities as a vessel operating common carrier. As an international NVOCC – registered, licensed and insured – Comage provides global capabilities and worldwide connections, and has extensive fleet operating experience, without the burden of operating a physical fleet of vessels.

Major Benefits for Customers

An NVOCC offers distinct advantages for customers. For example, Comage covers virtually every facet of the supply chain, ensuring timely, efficient and professional services: door-to-door or port-to-port.

From bills of lading, insurance and customs clearance, to transportation logistics and warehousing, Comage offers considerable value to each of its services. As well, Comage provides customers free insurance claim services through a sister company, to cover every step of the shipping and warehousing process.

The Comage Advantage

As an NVOCC, Comage offers the full complement of supply chain solutions, access to worldwide markets, global connections through international affiliates and flexibility in services or pricing which customers need and expect. Comage customers also receive the benefit of locked-in pricing over extended time periods – usually unavailable through freight forwarders. As customer demands change and grow, Comage has the expertise, people, facilities, equipment and global connections to meet and surpass those needs.
