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/).

    A clean page mention can guide visitors toward when the page mention should stay simple and useful: Crazy 777.

  • This article actually helped me with a report I was doing.

  • Klikam tu od jakichs trzy miechy, wiec chyba moge cos napisac. Trafilem z polecenia kolegi, szukajac czegos z sensownym lobby. Od razu rzuca sie w oczy, ze slotow jest naprawde sporo — gdzies 3500 tytulow, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i troche Yggdrasil. Standardy typu Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead sa, ale nie ukrywam najwiecej czasu spedzam na Fire Joker.

    Pakiet powitalny na Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny wyglada tak: 100% do 1500 zl plus 100 free spinow, rozlozone na kilka pierwszych wplat. Obrot to x35, co jest norma, ale warto przeczytac warunki — siedzi tam limit zakladu 6 zl w trakcie odgrywania i paru ludzi sie o to potknelo. Promo wbijalem przy rejestracji, bo potem juz go nie doklepiesz.

    Jak ktos chce sprawdzic aktualne kody, najprosciej zajrzec do fair play kod bonusowy zanim zalozycie konto, bo to sie kreci dosyc czesto. Kraza tez oferty bez depozytu, tylko ze bywaja czasowe.

    Live jest ogarniete — ruletki po polsku bywaja po godzinie 18, do tego Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette i ten caly Monopoly Live. Stoly zaczynaja sie od 3 zl, wiec mozna pograc bez wielkiego banku. To co mnie denerwuje to w weekendy jest lekki lag na mobilnym LTE.

    Kasa z Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny wychodza przyzwoicie: Skrill i e-portfele tego samego dnia, Visa/Mastercard juz 2-3 dni robocze, BTC doslownie w kilkanascie minut. Minimalna wplata to 40 zl, rejestracja to dwie minuty, ale KYC przy pierwszej wyplacie zajela mi prawie dwa dni — skan dowodu plus potwierdzenie adresu. Licencja z Curacao, wiec nic nadzwyczajnego, ale przelew doszedl bez cyrkow.

    Support w Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny gada po polsku na czacie, czekalem okolo 3-5 minut, bez kopiuj-wklej. Dedykowanej apki nie ma, jednak wersja przegladarkowa chodzi plynnie na Androidzie. Nie jest to idealu, ale gram dalej i do tej pory nie mialem wiekszych zgrzytow.

    Been using Single Bet Calculator for about four months now, mostly on my phone, so take this for what it’s worth. Came across it through a Reddit thread, nobody paid me.

    The lobby is frankly enormous — somewhere north of 3,000 slots according to the filter counts. Pragmatic Play is everywhere, so Book of Dead and all the standards are all there. Personally I mainly play Yggdrasil stuff because the volatility suits me. One gripe — the search function on Single Bet Calculator is a bit rubbish, you often have to scroll.

    Live tables are Evolution-run, which is fine by me. Proper human dealers, decent stream quality, and the game shows like Crazy Time pulls a big crowd most evenings. Should mention the British tables are properly staffed in the evenings. If you want to compare the current terms I’d have a nose at bet return calculator rather than taking my word for it.

    Welcome offer on Single Bet Calculator is a 100% match to ?150 with 50 spins. Wagering is 40x nothing special but not predatory. They also ran 20 no deposit spins when I registered. Minimum is a tenner, the form was short enough, KYC took a day.

    Cashouts have been fine. Card payments are the slow ones, Skrill and Neteller came through in under 12 hours, and Bitcoin clears fastest. Pulled ?180 out on Tuesday with no drama. The live chat on Single Bet Calculator was on me within five minutes — copy-paste at first but fine after. Properly licensed for UK players, so at least there’s a complaints route. No standalone app, which is mildly annoying but the site works fine.

  • Gram tu od zeszlej zimy, glownie sloty, wiec moge cos napisac. W 888starz katalog gier jest spory — gdzies ze 3000 tytulow, choc spora czesc to podobne do siebie klony. Play’n GO ciagnie wiekszosc — Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza chodza non stop, a ja i tak wracam do Book of Dead. Znalazlem sporo Yggdrasil i BTG dla lubiacych mocniejsza wariancje.

    Live to Evolution, co samo w sobie mowi wszystko. Realni krupierzy, sa nawet polskojezyczne stoly, te wszystkie teleturnieje typu Crazy Time w weekendy pekaja w szwach. To co mi przeszkadza — przy slabszym laczu potrafi sie zaciac, ale to raczej moja wina niz ich.

    Powitalny pakiet w 888starz to 100% do jakichs 1500 zl plus 150 free spinow, rozlozone na pierwsze wplaty. Wager to x35 co jest w miare uczciwe, ale bez cudow. Byl tez maly bonus bez depozytu po weryfikacji maila, z czego nic wielkiego nie wyszlo. Swieze promocje sa opisane na https://davidyes7.illustra.website/888starz-obrot-bonusem-przewodnik-po-wymaganiach-i-szybkich-wyplatach jesli komus sie chce grzebac. Wplacic mozna od okolo 20 zl, zapis trwa moze dwie minuty, tylko KYC lepiej ogarnac od razu.

    Kasa z wyplat sa ok, bez dramatow. Skrill i Neteller zwykle tego samego wieczora, karta Visa czy Mastercard to juz dwa-trzy dni. Bitcoin schodzi najszybciej — BTC mialem na portfelu w pol godziny. Support w 888starz odpowiada po polsku, czat na zywo, srednio kilka minut czekania, z tym ze raz dostalem czyste kopiuj-wklej.

    Na telefonie gram najczesciej — strona mobilna dziala plynnie, dodatkowo dostepna jest aplikacja na androida. Sciagnalem apke bo powiadomienia o promkach, smiga bez crashy. Jedna uwaga — widzialem gdzies podrobione wersje typu apk mod, nie dotykajcie tego, sciagajcie tylko z oficjalnego zrodla. Kasyno ma licencje Curacao — wiadomo, nie polska, to juz kwestia indywidualna.

    I’ve been playing at Nonebet for something like five months now, mostly on the train home, and figured I’d dump some thoughts since a mate asked me. Getting an account took no time — email and a password, that’s it, though the ID verification hit me later, which is standard. Minimum was $10 which suits me.

    Game selection is huge — somewhere north of 3,000 games from memory. Pragmatic Play dominates, so Gates of Olympus, Big Bass, the usual suspects get pushed hard. I tend to grind Yggdrasil and Betsoft titles because the volatility suits me. Microgaming back catalogue is there as well. The live section runs on Evolution, so you get actual dealers, roulette running 24/7 plus Crazy Time and Monopoly Live which I watch more than I play.

    The welcome deal when I joined was a match up to around $750 with 200 spins, rollover sits at 35x which honestly is about average. They also had a no-deposit spins offer for a while but don’t count on it. Offers rotate a lot so check the current ones on Nonebet Casino Portal rather than trusting my numbers. The one thing that annoyed me is the $5 max bet cap during bonus play — I busted it by accident once and the balance got voided. Lesson learned.

    Cashouts at Nonebet have been pretty quick. Bitcoin withdrawals landed in under an hour both times, e-wallets were 24 hours or so, and the one card withdrawal took nearly four days which felt long. Funding is instant via card, Skrill, Neteller and the usual coins.

    Their live chat answered me at 2am, actual humans once you get past the bot. No app for Nonebet as far as I can tell — it’s just the mobile browser, but it runs fine on my iPhone. It’s a Curacao licence, which isn’t the ACMA, obviously, something to be aware of if you’re in Australia.

    Ya llevo unos meses jugando en True Fortune y sinceramente que entre bastante esceptico, porque aqui en Espana uno ya se ha comido unos cuantos sitios raros. Lo primero fue cotillear el catalogo: tienen tranquilamente 3.000 slots y mesas, con Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO y NetEnt llevando el peso. Sweet Bonanza y Gates of Olympus, como no, estan, Book of Dead tambien, y algun Big Time Gaming suelto que no esperaba.

    La bienvenida es un 100% hasta 500€ mas 100 giros, y aqui el detalle al wager x35, que no es de risa. Yo lo cumpli jugando slots baratitas, pero si entras a lo loco te lo cepillas. Tambien dan 20 giros sin deposito al verificar, no te haces rico, pero esta bien para catar.

    El registro tardo dos minutos largos, deposito minimo de 10€ o 20€ segun metodo. Si quieres ver los terminos al detalle puedes verlas en play at True Fortune Casino, que es donde yo lo mire. Deposite con Skrill, tambien van Visa, Mastercard, Neteller y Bitcoin. Los retiros con e-wallet me han bajado en unas 24 horas, con tarjeta bancaria mas bien 3 dias.

    En vivo mandan los de Evolution, y si, hay mesas en espanol, aunque no a todas horas. Crazy Time y Lightning Roulette son mi vicio, y va fluido incluso desde el movil con 4G. Aviso, no hay app nativa como tal, funciona en el navegador, a mi me da igual, pero lo digo.

    Lo que menos me gusto fue la verificacion: me pidieron DNI y factura y estuvieron 48 horas revisandolo, con la retirada congelada mientras. El equipo de True Fortune atiende en castellano por chat, bastante rapido, diez minutos como mucho, de madrugada ya es otra historia. Van con licencia de Curazao, no DGOJ, que cada uno valore eso. Yo continuo, sin mas, he cobrado tres veces sin dramas.
