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/).

  • Вот такая история — родственник в запое , а что делать — просто тупик. Я через это прошел лично . Многие думают, что само пройдет , но нет . Нужна профессиональная помощь . Перерыл весь интернет — одни обещания . А потом наткнулся на один нормальный вариант. Если ищешь где получить лечение наркомании в Воронеже — не ведись на дешевые акции . В Воронеже , кстати , хватает левых контор без лицензии. Вся проверенная информация тут : наркологический центр частная скорая помощь https://narkologicheskaya-pomoshh-voronezh-11.ru Откровенно говоря, после того как ознакомился, понял свои ошибки. Там и про вывод из запоя , и про реабилитацию . Плюс работают круглосуточно — это важно . Советую не тянуть .

  • Let me save you some serious time, learned this the hard way. Then you roll up to the local address to pick up the car. Plus a surprise $3000 hold on your credit card for two weeks right before giving you the keys. 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. Miami without proper wheels is basically a nightmare, especially since the AC must freeze your teeth and unlimited miles or no deal.

    Most of these local agencies are just polished turds with fake five-star reviews hiding overpriced junk, 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: rent a sedan car https://luxury-car-rental-miami-9.com. 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.

  • Swear I’ve seen it all by now, the rental landscape down here is crazy. Then you actually show up to the local office to pick up the car. Plus they slap a surprise $2500 hold on your card for good measure right before giving you the keys. Fool me six times? Yeah, Miami doesn’t care, lesson learned. If you are trying to find a legitimate vehicle without getting ripped off, 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.

Also, definitely bring serious shades unless you enjoy driving straight into the sun every single evening.

  • Trust me, I’ve learned everything the hard way so you don’t have to. You see this gorgeous deal online — clean spec, fair price, looks like a dream. Plus they put a surprise $4000 hold on your card and say it’ll take two weeks to release right before giving you the keys. Fool me eleven times? That’s just called living in Miami, lesson learned. When you’re searching for a legit and reliable premium ride to cruise around, avoid the airport like the plague.

  • Let me save you some serious time, learned this the hard way. You find this amazing listing online — gorgeous spec, fair daily rate, looks perfect. Totally different vehicle waiting for you — bald tires, dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, and that “amazing rate”? Doesn’t include the mandatory $40 daily toll pass or the $350 “premium location” fee they spring on you at the counter. Twelve years in South Florida and these jokers still almost catch me sleeping.

When you’re after a trustworthy and reliable premium vehicle to cruise around, don’t just grab the cheapest option on Kayak.
