In international maritime cargo transport, the non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC) business is developing rapidly.
Accordingly, the number of cases in which cargo owners sue NVOCCs is also increasing. In such cases, identification of the carrier is a key issue. Any mistake made in identification will have unfavourable consequences for the cargo owner.
