Gateway is a licensed NVOCC with direct carrier contracts, so there is no broker margin on your ocean rate. We publish our live rates by lane and calculate duty upfront, which means you can check the landed cost before you ever contact us.
Everything you need to manage ocean freight at wholesale prices
We hold an active Federal Maritime Commission NVOCC license, giving us direct access to carrier contracts and wholesale rates.
Our license lets us buy container space directly from carriers, with no broker margin layered on top. Every rate we publish is the rate you pay.
AI generates Bills of Lading, commercial invoices, ISF filings, and customs documents automatically.
Direct contracts with Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO, and all major carriers. Any port, any route.
Real-time rate visibility, contract management, and spot rate comparison across your entire carrier network.
Book containers in seconds with automated space allocation. No phone calls, no waiting for confirmations.
A freight broker connects you with carriers but adds their margin to the rate. An NVOCC (like Gateway) holds carrier contracts directly and issues our own Bills of Lading. This means structural cost advantages that brokers simply cannot match.
Only ~5% of freight companies qualify for an FMC NVOCC license. Requirements include substantial bonding ($75,000), proof of ocean freight experience, financial stability audits, and ongoing compliance. This barrier to entry is what protects our wholesale pricing.
Buying carrier-direct means no broker margin sits on top of the ocean rate, and our fee is flat rather than a percentage of the freight. We publish our live spot rates by lane, refreshed weekly, so you can check the number before you ever contact us. Duty and fees are calculated upfront against the current tariff schedule, so the landed cost you plan against is the one you pay.
