The Basics

About FMC Licenses for Foreign-Based NVOCCs

The FMC license, required by the US Federal Maritime Commission, is necessary for businesses acting as Ocean Transportation Intermediaries (OTIs) before starting operations. GOL specializes in supporting foreign-based NVOCCs through this process; we do not provide FMC licensing services for US-domestic NVOCCs.
