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/).

    It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by defining this as such a comprehensive, almost unknowable problem. Isn’t that self-defeating?

    Signed up to true fortune casino about six months ago after a mate mentioned it, and honestly I reckoned it’d be yet another cookie-cutter places that disappear after a month. Still logging in though, so make of that what you want.

    The lobby is no joke huge — somewhere north of 3,000 slots and tables if the filter’s honest. NetEnt dominate the popular tab, so you get the ones everyone plays — Sweet Bonanza gets most of my balance, and I’ve had the odd good session on Betsoft titles too. Evolution the back catalogue is hidden behind the filters but they exist.

    The live rooms are basically Evolution by the looks of it, and that’s about as good as it gets. Crazy Time get a fair few players in the evenings, the hosts are real and chatty and quality’s sharp on home broadband. Sign-up offers was around 100% plus alongside 100 free spins, wagering sits at 40x and that’s fairly typical for the UK market. There was a tenner no-deposit at one point as well; the promos shift monthly so it’s worth a read the current ones over on true fortune rather than trusting my memory.

    Min deposit’s ?20 I think, sign-up was about five minutes. Debit card goes through instantly, Skrill and Neteller are supported and they do crypto now if that’s your thing. Payouts via e-wallet took a day and a bit, though card took nearer 72 hours.

    What did irritate me: document checks flagged my first upload for no clear reason, that stalled a withdrawal over a weekend. Live chat got there but it took two goes. Regulation side and that mattered to me, which is the first thing I check now.

    There’s no dedicated app for Android, it’s browser-based — works well enough on my iPhone, though the filters are fiddly with one hand. I’ve not moved on, and that probably tells you enough.
