Do you register me with the FMC?

No. Registration, bonding, and tariffs stay with you and the agency. The site is the public face after that.

Can the site issue a house bill?

No. We do not operate your documentation system.

Is NVOCC the same as a freight forwarder?

Not on this site. Use the page that matches the license you actually hold.

Will you promise space on a vessel?

No. Space is what you confirm on the quote.

A website for an NVOCC

An NVOCC sells ocean space it does not operate as a ship. The website should say the trades and how to ask for a rate. Motus builds that site. We do not issue bills of lading, and we do not file an FMC bond.

Trades, not every port on earth

Name the lanes you sell. If you are a forwarder and not an NVOCC, use the forwarder page. Shippers search the acronym because they want the ocean product, not a truck brochure.

No steamship logo as a partnership. A bill-of-lading image on the homepage is a bad idea unless your counsel wants that document public.

Rates and documents

quotes@ for the rate request. docs@ for the shipping instruction. Both on your domain. A tariff you publish must be a tariff you honor. We will not scrape someone else's rate sheet.

Your organization number, if you want it on the page, is text. We do not draw a government seal around it.

Package

Authority ($1,197) fits an NVOCC whose trades and document path need a custom site. Growth ($597) fits a smaller desk with one trade to explain. Container tracking remains software.

NVOCCs with several trades usually buy Authority ($1,197).

The package

Starter is $274, Growth is $597, and Authority is $1,197. Each price is one time. Year-1 hosting is included, then hosting is $150 a year. Company email on your domain is part of a transportation launch. A mailbox-provider seat fee and a registrar's domain fee are quoted before they start. The breakdown is on what a trucking website costs.
