This situation affects small and medium exporters and importers who are subject to restrictions of quotas in volume and type of cargo and increases the cost of maritime transport services, this logistics problem has an impact on the economic and social development of the country. In order to facilitate and promote Ecuador's foreign trade, it was decided to develop a business plan for the implementation of a Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC). The research analyzes the legal, technical, economic and financial viability that allow the decision to proceed with this implementation or not.

As a result of the analysis it is concluded that the project is viable as long as its operation is carried out under the compliance of the technical rules and according to fastness criteria that market research demands
