U.S. Shipping Companies and Freight Forwarders

with services to the Newly Independent States

of the Former Soviet Union (NIS)

Updated: October 2007

The following is a list of shipping companies and freight forwarders with services to the Newly Independent States (N.I.S.) of the former Soviet Union. This list is provided solely as an information service and does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Commerce of any particular company or its business activities. Please note that this list is by no means complete.

When you contact a company listed below, please let them know you found their listing through BISNIS. Thank you.

Vessel Operating Common Carriers (VOCCs) own their vessels.

Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs) lease space on vessels owned by VOCCs. NVOCCs can consolidate freight from various shippers and their rates are generally competitive with VOCCs.

Freight Forwarders are similar to NVOCCs and also lease space on VOCCs. They will handle paperwork, find best rate on VOCCs, and consolidate cargo from various shippers. Like NVOCCs, they have more bargaining power with VOCCs than a single shipper of small freight would have; their rates are generally higher than VOCCs and NVOCCs because they offer more services to the shipper.
