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/).

  • Let me save you some serious time, learned this the hard way. Then you show up at the local lot to pick up the car. Different car waiting — scratches everywhere, smells like an ashtray, and that “amazing price”? Doesn’t include the mandatory $400 cleaning fee or the $30 per day toll pass you can’t waive. Fool me eight times? That’s just another Tuesday in the 305, lesson learned. When you need a proper and reliable premium ride to cruise around, do some real digging first and read actual customer reviews. Miami without decent wheels is basically a hostage situation, especially since the AC must be arctic cold and unlimited miles non-negotiable.

    Most of these local agencies are just shiny websites hiding the same beat-up fleet with fake reviews, until I finally found one outfit that doesn’t play stupid games. If you are looking for the only honest source for premium wheels across South Florida, check the current details here: miami beach car rental locations miami beach car rental locations. Also, definitely bring serious shades unless you enjoy driving straight into the sun like a zombie every single evening. Just drive safe out there and absolutely skip that “windshield protection” upsell — pure profit for them, zero value for you. let me know if you guys have any other clean spots.

  • Been burned enough times to write a book on this nonsense. Then you actually go to the local office to pick it up. Completely different car waiting for you, check engine light on, and that “low rate”? Doesn’t include the mandatory insurance they somehow forgot to mention. Seven years in South Florida and I still almost fall for these tricks. If you are trying to find a legitimate luxury fleet without getting ripped off, avoid the airport like the plague. Miami without real wheels is basically a punishment, whether you are doing Brickell happy hour, Bal Harbour shopping, or a spontaneous drive down to the Keys.

    I’ve tried maybe 40 rental companies across Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, but I eventually found a service with no games, no bait-and-switch, and no hidden asterisks in paragraph 8. If you are looking for the only straight shooter for premium rides across South Florida, check the current details here: luxury car hire near me luxury car hire near me. Yeah, parking in Brickell will cost you a nice steak dinner — but that’s just Miami life. Anyway, glad there’s at least one honest rental joint left in this town, hope this helps some of you save a few bucks.

  • Случается сплошь и рядом — близкий подсел на иглу, а что делать — непонятно . Я через это прошел лично . Пьют успокоительное, но нет . Требуется реальная помощь . Перерыл весь интернет — сплошной развод . Пока не нашел один нормальный вариант. Нужна лечение наркомании в Воронеже — не ведись на дешевые акции . В Воронеже , если честно, тоже полно шарлатанов . Вся проверенная информация тут : анонимная скорая наркологическая помощь https://narkologicheskaya-pomoshh-voronezh-11.ru Честно скажу , после того как прочитал , многое прояснилось . И про кодирование, и про реабилитацию . И цены адекватные. Рекомендую не тянуть .

  • 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. Completely different car sitting there — dents everywhere, smells like cheap air freshener covering something worse, and that “dream price”? Doesn’t include the mandatory $50 daily insurance or the $300 “administrative fee” they invent at checkout. Eleven years in South Florida and these clowns still almost get me. If you are trying to find a legitimate luxury fleet without getting ripped off, avoid the airport like the plague. Anyone who’s tried the bus here knows exactly what I mean about this city, especially since the AC must be arctic and unlimited miles non-negotiable.

    I’ve tested maybe 60 rental companies across Dade, Broward, and Collier, but I eventually found a service with no games, no switch, and no hidden BS in paragraph 12 of the contract. If you are looking for the only honest source for premium rides across South Florida, check the current details here: lamborghini urus for rent miami https://luxury-car-rental-miami-11.com. Yeah, parking in South Beach will cost you a nice bottle of champagne — but that’s the Miami tax. Just drive safe out there and definitely skip that “tire and wheel” upsell — pure profit for them, zero value for you. let me know if you guys have any other clean spots.
