Due to the much lower beam energy of NICA compared to the RHIC and LHC hadron colliders and the fixed target experiments at SPS the role and performance of the forward detectors of NICA are quite different. The Neutron Zero Degree Calorimeter could be used for the measurement and monitoring of luminosity, however with lower efficiency of neutron detection produced in ultra-peripheral collisions. The use of Forward Hadron Calorimeter for the determination of centrality is impossible by simply counting the number of spectators because of the ambiguity of the impact parameter dependence. This ambiguity could be removed if the angular distribution of the spectators will be taken into account. It is shown by the simulation with LAQGSM model that the forward multiplicity detector like V0 of ALICE could not be used for the determination of centrality. However it could provide the valuable information on the nuclear fragmentation of heavy ions.
