What to know about Freight forwarders

Freight forwarding is the trade of assembling a shipment's journey and its paperwork. For ocean cargo moving in United States trades, the Federal Maritime Commission regulates the two roles that do this under the Shipping Act of 1984 and calls them ocean transportation intermediaries. An ocean freight forwarder is a US-based person or company that arranges cargo movement to an international destination, dispatches shipments via common carriers, books space on behalf of shippers, and prepares and processes the documentation. A non-vessel-operating common carrier is different in kind: it holds itself out to the public to provide ocean transportation, issues its own house bill of lading, does not operate the ships, and is itself a shipper in its relationship with the vessel operator.
