Company Overview
DSV A/S, operating under the NVOCC SCAC code DSVF, is a top-tier global transport and logistics provider headquartered in Hedehusene, Denmark. The company delivers comprehensive supply chain solutions, specializing in air, sea, and road freight forwarding, as well as contract logistics and value-added services. DSV’s NVOCC operations are a core component of its ocean freight division, offering both full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) services, with a strong focus on consolidation, customs brokerage, and compliance. The company’s asset-light business model means DSV does not own or operate vessels, but it maintains a significant presence in the global containerized shipping market by purchasing large volumes of space from ocean carriers and managing containerized shipments for a diverse client base. DSV’s NVOCC services are supported by advanced digital platforms for real-time tracking, analytics, and supply chain visibility, enabling tailored solutions for industries such as automotive, healthcare, technology, and retail. DSV has grown rapidly through strategic acquisitions, most notably the integration of Panalpina in 2019, UTi Worldwide in 2016, and DB Schenker in 2025, establishing itself as one of the world’s largest freight forwarders. Its global reach spans more than 90 countries, with a network of offices, cross-dock facilities, and warehouses that support seamless international logistics. The company is recognized for its operational excellence, sustainability initiatives, and commitment to digital innovation. DSV’s NVOCC activities are regulated and licensed, including Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) registration and compliance with international trade and customs requirements.
