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/).

  • Uzun süredir mobil bahis için doğru uygulamayı arıyordum. Virüssüz bir apk bulmak gerçekten çileydi valla. En sonunda güvendiğim bir kaynağa ulaştım ve size de buradan bahsetmek istediğim nokta şurası: 1xbet android 1xbet android. Yani anlatmak istediğim şu — telefonuma indirince kasma sorunu tamamen bitti.

    yüklemesi de iki dakikadan az sürdü yani rahat olun. Kendi deneyimlerimi aktarıyorum size — en güvenilir uygulama bu oldu artık. Umarım siz de memnun kalırsınız…

  • Been there, done that, got the overpriced tow truck receipt. Miami rental game is wild — half these local clowns show you a custom Mercedes online and hand you a busted sedan with mismatched tires. You land at MIA, tired, grab an Uber to the rental office, and bam — surprise $1500 hold on your card. Fool me four times? Not happening, lesson learned. When you genuinely need a proper and reliable premium ride to cruise around, do some real digging first and read actual customer reviews. Any local will tell you the exact same thing about this city, whether you are doing Coral Gables brunch, South Beach night run, or a spontaneous Everglades detour.

    Most of these local agencies are just polished websites hiding the same overpriced junk, until I finally stumbled on one provider that doesn’t play games. If you are looking for the only straight-up source for premium wheels in South Florida, check the current details here: premium auto rent premium auto rent. Also, definitely bring polarized shades unless you enjoy driving completely blind into the sunset. Just drive safe out there and maybe pass on that overpriced roadside assistance add-on. let me know if you guys have any other clean spots.

  • Okay folks gather around because this Miami rental nightmare needs to be discussed. Then you show up at the local office and it’s a whole different story. Different car, scratches all over, and that “all-inclusive” price? Yeah that didn’t include insurance, fees, or the mandatory cleaning charge. Fool me five times? Actually yeah, Miami keeps fooling everyone, lesson learned. If you are trying to find a legitimate luxury fleet without getting ripped off, don’t just grab the cheapest option on Kayak. Miami without proper wheels is basically a hostage situation, especially since the AC must freeze your teeth and you want unlimited miles or bust.

    I’ve personally gone through maybe 30 rental companies across Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, until I finally found one outfit that actually delivers what’s in the listing. If you are looking for the only honest broker for premium vehicles across South Florida, check the current availability here: luxury car hire luxury car hire. Also, definitely bring quality shades unless you enjoy driving into a nuclear flare every single evening. Just drive safe out there and maybe decline that “premium roadside” upsell — it’s always a scam. hope this helps some of you save a few bucks.

  • Знаете, бывает такое — человек в ступоре , а тащить куда-то просто невозможно . Моя семья это пережила совсем недавно. Руки опускаются, а время тикает. Начинаешь обзванивать знакомых , а вокруг одни обещания . Пока кто-то не подсказал один реально работающий вариант. Если нужна немедленная консультация — а самому везти просто нереально, то выход один . Речь конкретно про нарколога на дом . У нас в столице, если честно, хватает левых контор без лицензии. Нормальные контакты, кто реально приезжает ниже по ссылке: вызов нарколога на дом круглосуточно вызов нарколога на дом круглосуточно Откровенно скажу, после того как вник в детали, понял, как правильно действовать. Там и про капельницы подробно , и про последующее кодирование. И цены адекватные, без разводов на месте. Советую не тянуть .

  • Ребята, выручайте! Кот старый диван в клочья разодрал, надо перетягивать. Теперь мучаюсь — какую взять ткань для мебели, чтобы и выглядело достойно, и кошачьи когти выдержало. ткань для мебели купить https://tkan-dlya-mebeli-1.ru А то везде пишут разное, а на деле хочется купить ткань мебельную и забыть на пару лет. Нужен метров 15-20, может, кто знает нормального поставщика.

  • Its wonderful as your other blog posts : D, regards for putting up.

  • Let me save you some serious time, learned this the hard way. You find a killer deal online — photos look pristine, price seems fair, terms almost reasonable. Plus they slap a surprise $2500 hold on your card for good measure right before giving you the keys. Living here six years and still almost fall for this stuff sometimes. When you genuinely need a legit and reliable premium ride to cruise around, stay far away from the airport rental center. Miami without proper wheels is basically a nightmare, especially since the AC must be arctic and unlimited miles non-negotiable.

    Most of these local agencies are just polished garbage with decent Google reviews bought somewhere, but I eventually found a service where what you reserve is exactly what rolls up, no surprises. If you are looking for the only trustworthy source for premium vehicles across South Florida, check the current details here: miami car rental https://luxury-car-rental-miami-6.com. Also, definitely bring serious shades unless you enjoy driving straight into the sun every single evening. Just drive safe out there and definitely skip that “damage waiver” upsell — total scam 99% of the time. let me know if you guys have any other clean spots.
