SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	(a) Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Holdings' consolidated financial positions, statement of stockholders' equity, statements of comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Holdings' 2013 annual report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
	For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company has revised its statement of cash flows to appropriately classify the amount of $3,478 from operating cash inflows to investing cash inflows for dividends it received from one of its equity affiliate investees. These dividends represent a return of the investment (investing activity) rather than a return on the investment (operating activity).
	(b) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Holdings, a Marshall Islands corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated statements.
	Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. All subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are 100% owned, except for Navios Logistics, which is 63.8% owned and Navios Asia, which was 51.0%, until May 2014, when Navios Holdings became the sole shareholder by acquiring the remaining 49.0% noncontrolling interest.
	Investments in Affiliates: Affiliates are entities over which the Company generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Company has significant influence, but it does not exercise control. Investments in these entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method the Company records an investment in the stock of an affiliate at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount for its share of the earnings or losses of the affiliate subsequent to the date of investment and reports the recognized earnings or losses in income. Dividends received from an affiliate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The Company recognizes gains and losses in earnings for the issuance of shares by its affiliates, provided that the issuance of shares qualifies as a sale of shares. When the Company's share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.
	Affiliates included in the financial statements accounted for under the equity method
	In the consolidated financial statements of Navios Holdings, the following entities are included as affiliates and are accounted for under the equity method for such periods: (i) Navios Partners and its subsidiaries (ownership interest as of June 30, 2014 was 20.0%, which includes a 2.0% general partner interest); (ii) Navios Acquisition and its subsidiaries (economic interest as of June 30, 2014 was 46.4%); (iii) Acropolis Chartering and Shipping Inc. (“Acropolis”) (ownership interest as of June 30, 2014 was 50.0%); and (iv) Navios Europe and its subsidiaries (ownership interest as of June 30, 2014 was 47.5%).
	(b)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment” changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company plans to adopt No. ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued No. ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of comprehensive income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on its revenue recognition.

The two tranches bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points. During the first quarter of 2014, Navios Asia had drawn the second tranche of $11,250 in order to finance the acquisition of N Bonanza, which is repayable in ten equal semi-annual installments of $563, with a final balloon payment of $5,625 on the last repayment date.

The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had drawn the entire available amount under the new tranche facility, which is repayable in 24 quarterly installments of $469, with a final balloon payment of $18,750 on the last repayment date.
	During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid an amount of $9,596 relating to scheduled repayment installments.
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company had secured credit facilities with various banks with a total outstanding balance of $249,218. The purpose of the facilities was to finance the construction or acquisition of vessels or refinance existing indebtedness. All of the facilities are denominated in U.S. Dollars and bear interest based on LIBOR plus spread ranging from 2.25% to 3.60% per annum. The facilities are repayable in either semi-annual or quarterly installments, followed by balloon payments with maturities, ranging from September 2018 to May 2022. See also the maturity table included below.
	Amounts drawn under the facilities are secured by first priority mortgages on Navios Holdings' vessels and other collateral.
	The credit facilities contain a number of restrictive covenants that limit Navios Holdings and/or its subsidiaries from, among other things: incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; entering into affiliate transactions; charging, pledging or encumbering the vessels; changing the flag, class, management or ownership of Navios Holdings' vessels; changing the commercial and technical management of Navios Holdings' vessels; selling or changing the ownership of Navios Holdings' vessels; and subordinating the obligations under the credit facilities to any general and administrative costs relating to the vessels. The credit facilities also require the vessels to comply with the ISM Code and ISPS Code and to maintain valid safety management certificates and documents of compliance at all times. Additionally, the credit facilities require compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures governing the 2019 Notes and the 2022 Notes. Among other events, it will be an event of default under the credit facilities if the financial covenants are not complied with or if Angeliki Frangou and her affiliates, together, own less than 20% of the outstanding share capital of Navios Holdings.
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under each of its credit facilities.

(the “2022 Co- Issuers”) and are secured by first priority ship mortgages on 23 drybulk vessels owned by certain subsidiary guarantors and certain other associated property and contract rights. The 2022 Notes are unregistered and fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally by all of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee the 2019 Notes and Navios Maritime Finance II (US) Inc. The guarantees of the Company's subsidiaries that own mortgage vessels are senior secured guarantees and the guarantees of the Company's subsidiaries that do not own mortgage vessels are senior unsecured guarantees. In addition, the 2022 Co-Issuers have the option to redeem the 2022 Notes in whole or in part, at any time (i) before January 15, 2017, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make whole price which is based on a formula calculated using a discount rate of treasury bonds plus 50 basis points, and (ii) on or after January 15, 2017, at a fixed price of 105.531%, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2020.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]	'
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
	Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.
	Restricted cash: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.
	Borrowings: The carrying amount of the floating rate loans approximates their fair value. The 2019 Notes, the 2022 Notes and the 2019 and 2022 Logistics Senior Notes are fixed rate borrowings and their fair value, which was determined based on quoted market prices, is indicated in the table below.
	Capital leases: The capital leases are fixed rate obligations and their carrying amounts approximate their fair value as indicated in the table below.
	Loan receivable from affiliate companies: The carrying amount of the floating rate loan approximates its fair value.
	Long-term receivable from affiliate companies: The carrying amount of the floating rate receivable approximates its fair value.
	Accounts receivable, net: Carrying amounts are considered to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts receivables and because there were no significant changes in interest rates. All amounts that are assumed to be uncollectable are written off and/or reserved.
	Accounts payable: The carrying amounts of accounts payable reported in the balance sheet approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts payable and because there were no significant changes in interest rates.
	Investments in available-for-sale securities: The carrying amount of the investments in available-for-sale securities reported in the balance sheet represents unrealized gains and losses on these securities, which are reflected directly in equity unless an unrealized loss is considered “other-than-temporary”, in which case it is transferred to the statements of comprehensive income.
	The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

In connection with the public offerings of common units by Navios Partners, a pro rata portion of the deferred gain is released to income upon dilution of the Company's ownership interest in Navios Partners.

	NOTE 13: INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES AND AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES
	Navios Maritime Partners L.P.
	On August 7, 2007, Navios Holdings formed Navios Partners under the laws of Marshall Islands. Navios GP L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, was also formed on that date to act as the general partner of Navios Partners and received a 2.0% general partner interest.
	In February, 2014, Navios Partners completed a public offering of 6,325,000 common units, including the full exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option, at $17.30 per unit and raised net proceeds of approximately $106,732. Navios Holdings paid $2,233 in order to retain its 2.0% general partner interest. Following this offering, Navios Holdings' interest in Navios Partners decreased to 20.0% (which includes a 2.0% general partner interest). The Company determined that the issuance of shares qualified as sales of shares by the equity method investee. As a result, gains of $11,230 and $7,963 were recognized in “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	As of June 30, 2014, Navios Holdings holds a total of 14,223,763 common units, representing an 18.0% common interest in Navios Partners and the entire investment in Navios Partners is accounted for under the equity method.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unamortized difference between the carrying amount of the investment in Navios Partners and the amount of the Company's underlying equity in net assets of Navios Partners was $36,983 and $42,412, respectively. This difference is amortized through “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” over the remaining life of Navios Partners tangible and intangible assets.

	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the investment in Navios Partners was $122,045 and $110,516, respectively.
	Dividends received during the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $7,536 and $7,343, respectively, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $14,971 and $14,685, respectively.
	Acropolis Chartering and Shipping Inc.
	Navios Holdings has a 50% interest in Acropolis, a brokerage firm for freight and shipping charters.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the investment was $420 and $350, respectively. During both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received dividends of $271 and $0, respectively.
	Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation
	In February 2014, Navios Acquisition completed a public offering of 14,950,000 shares of its common stock, at a price of $3.85 per share, raising gross proceeds of $57,556. Following this offering and as of June 30, 2014, Navios Holdings has a 43.1% voting and a 46.4% economic interest in Navios Acquisition. The Company determined that the issuance of shares qualified as a sale of shares by the equity method investee. As a result, $0 and a loss of $2,096 were recognized in “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and income of $6,193 and a loss of $5,049 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unamortized difference between the carrying amount of the investment in Navios Acquisition and the amount of the Company's underlying equity in net assets of Navios Acquisition was $7,990 and $12,052, respectively. This difference is amortized through “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” over the remaining life of Navios Acquisition tangible and intangible assets.

	Dividends received during the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $3,649 and $2,178, respectively, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $7,298 and $3,478, respectively.
	Navios Europe
	On December 18, 2013, Navios Europe acquired ten vessels for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) cash consideration of $127,753 (which was funded with the proceeds of $117,753 senior loan facilities (the “Senior Loans”) and loans aggregating to $10,000 from Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) (collectively, the “Navios Term Loans”) and (ii) the assumption of a junior participating loan facility (the “Junior Loan”) with a face amount of $173,367 and fair value of $71,929 as of December 31, 2013. In addition to the Navios Term Loans, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will also make available to Navios Europe (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) revolving loans up to $24,100 to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans”).
	On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe is required to distribute cash flows (after payment of operating expenses and amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loans) according to a defined waterfall calculation.
	The Navios Term Loans will be repaid from the future sale of vessels owned by Navios Europe and is deemed to be the initial investment by Navios Holdings. Navios Holdings evaluated its investment in Navios Europe under ASC 810 and concluded that Navios Europe is a variable interest entity and that they are not the party most closely associated with Navios Europe and, accordingly, is not the primary beneficiary of Navios Europe.
	Navios Holdings further evaluated its investment in the common stock of Navios Europe under ASC 323 and concluded that it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Navios Europe and, therefore, its investment in Navios Europe is accounted for under the equity method.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the estimated maximum potential loss by Navios Holdings in Navios Europe would have been $10,241 and $7,410, respectively, which represents the Company's portion of the initial investment of $4,750 plus the Company's portion of the carrying balance of the Navios Revolving Loans of $5,491 (December 31, 2013: $2,660) and does not include the undrawn portion of the Navios Revolving Loans.
	Income of $311 and $0 was recognized in “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and income of $462 and $0 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the investment in Navios Europe was $4,903 and $4,750, respectively.

	During the year ended December 2013, the Company received shares of Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”) as partial compensation for the claims filed under the Korean court for all unpaid amounts by KLC in respect of the employment of the vessels. The shares were valued at fair value upon the day of issuance. As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company retained a total of 314,077 KLC shares.
	The shares received from KLC were accounted for under the guidance for available-for-sale securities (the “AFS Securities”). Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reflected directly in equity unless an unrealized loss is considered “other-than- temporary”, in which case it is transferred to statements of comprehensive income. The Company has no other types of available-for-sale securities.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the available-for-sale securities related to KLC was $7,280 and $7,660, respectively, and the unrealized holding losses related to these AFS Securities included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” were $0 and $1,358, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, the Company considered the decline in fair value of the KLC shares as “other-than-temporary” and therefore, recognized a loss out of accumulated other comprehensive loss of $11,553. The respective loss was included in other (expense)/income, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
Basis of presentation	'
	(a) Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Holdings' consolidated financial positions, statement of stockholders' equity, statements of comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Holdings' 2013 annual report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
	For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company has revised its statement of cash flows to appropriately classify the amount of $3,478 from operating cash inflows to investing cash inflows for dividends it received from one of its equity affiliate investees. These dividends represent a return of the investment (investing activity) rather than a return on the investment (operating activity).
Principles of Consolidation	'
	(b) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Holdings, a Marshall Islands corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated statements.
	Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. All subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are 100% owned, except for Navios Logistics, which is 63.8% owned and Navios Asia, which was 51.0%, until May 2014, when Navios Holdings became the sole shareholder by acquiring the remaining 49.0% noncontrolling interest.
	Investments in Affiliates: Affiliates are entities over which the Company generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Company has significant influence, but it does not exercise control. Investments in these entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method the Company records an investment in the stock of an affiliate at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount for its share of the earnings or losses of the affiliate subsequent to the date of investment and reports the recognized earnings or losses in income. Dividends received from an affiliate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The Company recognizes gains and losses in earnings for the issuance of shares by its affiliates, provided that the issuance of shares qualifies as a sale of shares. When the Company's share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.
	Affiliates included in the financial statements accounted for under the equity method
	In the consolidated financial statements of Navios Holdings, the following entities are included as affiliates and are accounted for under the equity method for such periods: (i) Navios Partners and its subsidiaries (ownership interest as of June 30, 2014 was 20.0%, which includes a 2.0% general partner interest); (ii) Navios Acquisition and its subsidiaries (economic interest as of June 30, 2014 was 46.4%); (iii) Acropolis Chartering and Shipping Inc. (“Acropolis”) (ownership interest as of June 30, 2014 was 50.0%); and (iv) Navios Europe and its subsidiaries (ownership interest as of June 30, 2014 was 47.5%).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	(b)     Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment” changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company plans to adopt No. ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued No. ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of comprehensive income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on its revenue recognition.
