What is Liner NVOCC Shipping, and What are its Benefits?
Around 55000 merchant ships are trying to sell their goods or services globally, including General Cargo, Bulk and Break Bulk ships, Container ships, Tankers, and all other types of ships.
However, these ships operate on two primary services, Liner and Tramp. In this blog, let’s focus on Liner services that apply to container shipping.
Liner Service refers to transporting goods or services from one destination to another by large ocean ships that move on regular routes at fixed schedules.
SLR deals in Liner and NVOCC Shipping and are not only restricted to container shipping but also applies to other types of ships like RoRo, Bulk, and Break Bulk cargo. Their major rotation ports are Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE, Hamad (Doha, Qatar), Kuwait, and Bahrain for caring cargo services.
Liner Services consist of the following ingredients:
COMMON CARRIER
A Common Carrier is a person who prepares to carry goods from one destination to another for a reward. One such carrier is a ship that offers regularly scheduled service, also known as Cargo Liner. Similarly, if a vessel is engaged in transporting goods, it is Liner Service.
A known service provider offers Liner Service at a regularly scheduled route and time.
FIXED SCHEDULE
A vessel must have a fixed sailing schedule. Because if the ship is said to be available at a port for loading or discharge, irrespective of the cargo availability. In that case, that vessel needs to be at the port as a pre-determined schedule.
However, the weather conditions and the technical faults of the ship will not affect the Liner and NVOCC Shipping function.
FIXED ROUTE
A fixed schedule goes along with a fixed route. So a vessel must be at a specified schedule when expected to pass from the various ports. However, no deviation will work in the non-availability of cargo because of the fixed route.
In short, the Liner service must sail on a scheduled date between various ports irrespective of cargo availability.
REGULARITY
Regularity in service is one of the common characteristics of a Liner Service. A carrier having a fixed trade route and a fixed schedule is necessary, which means operating a trade route per your prescribed schedule period.
Any trial service in a route may be an ad-hoc service and cannot identify as Liner Service.
