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.

    Вот такая история — человек пропадает , а что делать — непонятно . Я через это прошел лично . Пьют успокоительное, но нет . Нужна реальная помощь . Перерыл весь интернет — сплошной развод . А потом наткнулся на один нормальный вариант. Если ищешь где получить анонимное лечение алкоголиков — не рискуй здоровьем близкого. У нас в Воронеже, кстати , хватает шарлатанов . Вся проверенная информация тут : клиника плюс наркология клиника плюс наркология Откровенно говоря, после того как ознакомился, многое прояснилось . И про кодирование, и про реабилитацию . Плюс работают круглосуточно — это важно . Советую не тянуть .

    Ситуация форс-мажор — близкий на грани, а везти в больницу просто невозможно . Моя семья это пережила совсем недавно. Руки опускаются, а время тикает. Начинаешь обзванивать знакомых , а вокруг сплошной развод. Пока кто-то не подсказал один нормальный проверенный вариант. Если нужна срочная помощь — а ехать куда-то просто нереально, то нужно вызывать врача. Речь конкретно про нарколога на дом . У нас в столице, если честно, тоже полно шарлатанов . Вся проверенная информация ниже по ссылке: нарколог круглосуточно нарколог круглосуточно Честно говоря , после того как вник в детали, понял, как правильно действовать. Там и про капельницы подробно , и про последующее кодирование. Плюс анонимность — это важно . Советую не тянуть .

    Telefonumda bahis keyfini çıkarmak istiyordum uzun zamandır. Virüslü bir dosya indirmekten çok korktum açıkçası. Adımları doğru sırayla uyguladıktan sonra erişim sorunsuz açıldı. En sonunda güvenilir bir kaynağa ulaştım ve size de tüm detayları aktarmak istedim, güncel bilgilere buradan bakabilirsiniz: 1xbet app apk 1xbet app apk. Yani anlatmak istediğim şu — telefonuma kurduğum için çok mutluyum.

    kurulumu da oldukça basitti yani rahat olun. İşin doğrusunu söylemek gerekirse — kesinlikle pişman olmazsınız deneyin derim. Umarım siz de memnun kalırsınız…

    Let me save you some serious time, learned this the hard way. You find a killer listing online: sleek Audi, convertible, price almost too good to be true. Different car sitting there — bald tires, dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, and that “killer price”? Yeah doesn’t include the non-negotiable $45 daily insurance or the $500 deposit they forget to mention. Fool me nine times? That’s just the Miami welcome committee, lesson learned. If you are trying to find a legitimate luxury fleet without getting ripped off, do some real digging first and read actual customer reviews. Anyone who’s tried the trolley system knows what I’m talking about about this city, whether you are doing Coconut Grove dinner, Sunny Isles sunrise, or a spontaneous drive down to Homestead.

    I’ve tested maybe 50 rental outfits across Dade, Broward, and Collier, until I finally found one company that doesn’t play stupid games. If you are looking for the only trustworthy source for premium rides across South Florida, check the current details here: luxury car rental prices luxury car rental prices. Yeah, parking in Wynwood will cost you a nice dinner — but that’s the price of being in Miami. Anyway, glad there’s at least one honest operator left in this rental jungle, let me know if you guys have any other clean spots.
