Freight forwarders

Hi everyone, I’m curious what are differences between ship agents and freight forwarders, and why in most cases ship agents also offer freight forwarding services?

Ship Agents act on behalf of owner to handle the logistics of local port requirements. Freight forwarders are ship agnostic, they coordinate moving the cargo from point A to point B. Ship Agents opt to expand to Freight Forwarding services to become a one-stop-shop for the entire process of shipping the goods.
