The entity that moves the goods is known as the carrier.

A freight carrier is the business or individual responsible for transporting freight from one point to another.

A carrier can be either a VOCC (Vessel Operating Common Carrier) or an NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier). The term “ocean carrier” typically refers to companies that own and operate ocean vessels. A NVOCC, such as Forceget, arranges the transfer of cargo by ocean carrier.
