Direct vessel-owner connections
We book straight through vessel owners and partner lines, so space is secured and cargo sails sooner — without waiting in a single mega-carrier's queue.
A Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier works like a shipping line — issuing its own bills of lading and managing containers — but without owning the vessels. That independence is your advantage: ILS arranges flexible, efficient sea freight through direct vessel-owner and shipping-partner connections, moving your cargo faster and more competitively than large traditional carriers such as MSC, CMA CGM, and Maersk Line.
A Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) operates like a shipping line — issuing bills of lading and managing containers — but without owning the ships. Instead of being locked into one carrier's schedule and pricing, ILS draws on a wide network of vessel owners and shipping partners to route your sea freight the fastest, most cost-effective way available.
