IMB launches initiative to curb B/L fraud

The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has launched a new initiative aimed at curbing bills of lading (B/L) fraud carried out by non-vessel owning common carriers (NVOCCs).

News key points: 

1

B/Ls Key Documents

B/Ls are crucial documents relied upon by many stakeholders in the trading chain including banks, shipping companies, carriers and charterers.
2

IMB checks B/L for its members

While the vast majority of NVOCCs issue B/Ls correctly, there is a small minority that do not.
3

95% false B/Ls

IMB’s says that up to 95 percent of the false B/Ls identified by the Bureau are issued by NVOCCs.
4

An IMB spokesman said

“Incidents of ship owners/carriers or their agents issuing false B/Ls are uncommon because they take a big risk in doing so and open themselves to legal action.
5

However

unlike the carriers or their agents, the majority of NVOCCs do not have any assets which are at risk in these transactions except for their reputations.
6

Fraudulent Practices in B/Ls

This could lead to fraudulent practices, and banks that unwittingly process false B/Ls could discover that either there are no cargoes underlying the documents or that the shipments may be misrepresented.
7

IMB spokesman added

“The NVOCC Register therefore recognises participating NVOCCs who adhere to a minimum standard of anti-fraud measures in their operations,”
8

Inviting NVOCCs

IMB is inviting NVOCCs to sign up to its NVOCC Register. In doing so they will also have to sign up to a Code of Conduct for the issuance of B/Ls. Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in removal of the NVOCC from the Register in certain circumstances.
9

The intention behind NVOCC Register

The intention is not to exclude defaulting NVOCCs but to help them improve the steps taken to issue bills of lading which is relied upon by a number of other stakeholders.
10

Advantage to Signup for NVOCC Register

IMB says an advantage of signing up to the Register is that banks may process the documents of NVOCCs on the Register faster than those that are not.
11

Backed by ICC Academy

The IMB NVOCC Register is backed by an online course designed by the IMB and run by the ICC Academy which specialises in trade related online training (https://icc.academy/).

IMB NVOCC Register Now in Singapore

The IMB NVOCC Register was officially launched in Singapore last month, attended by more than 100 representatives from banks, logistics companies and trading firms.

    Sürekli karşıma çıkıyordu ama denememiştim. Açıkçası önyargılıydım biraz. Sonra biraz araştırayım dedim.

    Spor bahislerinde iddialı olanlar buraya. Detaylı incelemeleri tamamlayıp adımları takip ettikten sonra her şey netleşti. Giriş adresi işte karşınızda: 1xbet giriş 1xbet giriş. Kısacası durum ortada — 1xbet spor bahislerinin adresi burada.

    Hem hızlı hem güvenilir. Kendi adıma konuşuyorum — pişman eden bir yer değil kesinlikle. Şimdiden iyi eğlenceler…

    Слушайте, какая история — родственник в тяжелом запое , а везти в клинику нет никаких сил. Я сам через это прошел пару лет назад . Сидишь, не знаешь за что хвататься . Лезешь в интернет, а вокруг одни обещания . Пока случайно не нашел один нормальный проверенный вариант. Требуется немедленная консультация — а ехать куда-то нет физической возможности , то выход один . Речь конкретно про выезд нарколога на дом. В Самаре , если честно, тоже полно левых контор без лицензии. Вся проверенная информация вот тут : врач нарколог https://narkolog-na-dom-samara-14.ru Откровенно говоря, после того как прочитал , многое прояснилось . И про снятие запоя на дому, и про последующее кодирование. Плюс анонимность — это важно . Рекомендую не тянуть .

    Daha önce hiç bu kadar kararlı bir site görmedim. Sürekli engelleme derdi bitmek bilmiyor artık. Gerekli tüm teknik kontrolleri sırasıyla tamamlayıp süreci başlattım. En doğru adrese ulaştığımı düşünüyorum ve size de buradan bahsetmek istiyorum: 1xbet giriş 1xbet giriş. Şöyle düşünün yani — spor bahislerinde uzman olanlar bilir burayı.

    Hiçbir aksilik yaşamadım bugüne kadar. Birçok platform denedim ama bunda karar kıldım — en çok güvendiğim adres burası oldu artık. Umarım siz de memnun kalırsınız…

    Друзья, всем здравствуйте. долго присматривался к разным платформам, но на прошлой неделе все-таки попробовал сделать пару ставок в melbet. Скажу так — очень зашло с первых минут,. У кого обычный андроид — тоже всё без проблем запускается,. Надо melbet скачать ios? Там всё делается максимально просто,.

    Короче, вся полезная инфа и актуальный сайт доступны вот тут: . Кстати, кто спрашивал про мелбет скачать приложение — всё очень удобно и грамотно сделано. И бонусы для новичков норм дают,. Я за месяц три раза выигрыш забирал — служба поддержки работает норм,. Это лучшее, что я пробовал из подобного. Пользуйтесь на здоровье, пусть повезет!
