VANGUARD LOGISTICS SERVICES (USA), INC.: what the federal register records
This page is one row of a federal register, printed with the date it was read. The Federal Maritime Commission lists VANGUARD LOGISTICS SERVICES (USA), INC. as licensed under number 017237, read on 2026-07-28. That confirms authority and nothing else: the register does not measure service, solvency or price, and this page does not score the company.
Why this company has a card: Vanguard Logistics Services, named in 8 of 21 LCL query highlights and on 5 of the 12 LCL pages read in full.

Fields the register did not carry for this entity are omitted rather than shown blank. The register changes weekly, so the reading date above is part of the fact.
What this role means for your shipment
NVOCC. Issues its own bill of lading, publishes its own tariff and takes on carrier liability for the cargo.
The register records this one role for this organization number and not the other, which is a fact about the entity rather than about the brand: a group can hold the second role through a different entity with a different number. On your own shipment the carrier is still whoever is named as carrier on the bill of lading, so read the document as well as the row. The distinction, and the bond behind each role, is set out in is an NVOCC the same as a freight forwarder.
What this page deliberately does not say
- No score. The register records authority. It does not measure whether the company quotes honestly, answers the phone or keeps a schedule, and neither do we.
- No rate. SeaRates holds no quote array, so no price for this company appears here. What a delivered container actually bills is set out in the landed-cost breakdown.
- No complaint record. Complaints with a documented outcome and a denominator are not published per company by any regulator, so no count appears.
- Not a recommendation. A licence is a floor: it excludes the counterparty that cannot be complained to. That is a smaller claim than a badge implies, and a more reliable one.
