RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON NVOCC OPERATIONS

Abstract: This study explores the critical role of risk management in the operations of Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs), which serve as key intermediaries in global logistics without owning shipping vessels. Amid the rising complexity of international trade, NVOCCs face multifaceted risks-ranging from operational and financial disruptions to regulatory and cyber security challenges. The research aims to identify these risks, evaluate current mitigation strategies, and assess their effectiveness .Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines surveys, interviews, and case studies.. Findings indicate that while technological tools and compliance frameworks enhance resilience, gaps in risk awareness and communication persist within organizations. The study highlights the need for a structured, organization-wide risk management framework and advocates for the integration of digital tools, employee training, and proactive compliance to ensure sustainable and efficient NVOCC operations in a dynamic global trade environment.
