MAERSK Logistics China granted NVOCC licence in PRC

Maersk Logistics (China) Co. Ltd. is among the first wholly owned foreign enterprise (WOFE) to be accredited by authorities to perform operations as Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers. The license is necessary for companies after the Chinese government introduced strict regulatory changes governing NVOCC’s in the mainland.

“We are extremely pleased and encouraged by this license”, explains Mr. Steffen Schiottz-Christensen, Managing Director of Maersk Logistics China. “It will allow us full control over operations as well as allowing issuance of House Bills of Lading to our clients”. He continues: “The NVOCC activities is a natural extension of our current broad scope of Logistics Services offered in China, allowing our clients one entry point covering all needs”.
