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/).

    Sto su Slot Shopper dallo scorso inverno e a questo punto posso dire due cose sensate. La libreria e piuttosto vasta, intorno ai 2.000 titoli a occhio, con NetEnt che fa il grosso del lavoro. Gates of Olympus e sempre li in cima, e poi ci sono Big Time Gaming e Microgaming per chi cerca cose piu cattive.

    La parte live e tutta Evolution, quindi il livello lo conosci: croupier reali, qualche tavolo con dealer italiano, e ovviamente Crazy Time e compagnia che la sera si riempiono. L’unica cosa che mi ha infastidito: su connessione mobile scarsa il video scatta, pero forse e piu un problema della mia linea.

    Sul bonus: il benvenuto di Slot Shopper gira intorno al 150% fino a 200€ e ci mette 200 free spin, spalmati su qualche giorno. Il requisito di puntata sta sul 30x sulla parte bonus, nella norma per il mercato italiano. Danno anche 20 free spin senza deposito ogni tanto, in ogni caso le condizioni esatte le trovi su slotshopper prima di depositare.

    Deposito minimo 10€, registrazione veloce ma il documento te lo chiedono per il KYC. Io deposito con Neteller e il prelievo mi e arrivato in circa due giorni. Carte, Skrill, Neteller, bonifico e qualche opzione in Bitcoin, nessun problema di metodi. Il primo prelievo e stato piu lento perche stavano verificando i documenti.

    Da mobile si gioca via browser, il sito si adatta bene, semplice e senza intoppi. Il supporto di Slot Shopper risponde in italiano in chat, di solito entro dieci minuti, una volta mi hanno risolto un giro non accreditato senza fare storie. Sono regolati con licenza di Malta, cosa che per me conta piu del bonus.

    Ich bin mittlerweile seit ungefaehr einem halben Jahr auf Play Fortuna aktiv, genug Zeit also um eine realistische Einschaetzung zu geben. Bin ueber einen Forenpost darauf gestossen, hauptsaechlich wegen der Spielauswahl.

    Die Spieleauswahl hier ist groesser als erwartet: die ueblichen grossen Anbieter stellen den Grossteil. Die bekannten Hits sind natuerlich dabei, die High-Volatility-Spiele machen mir am meisten Spass. Der Live-Bereich kommt von Evolution: Roulette, Blackjack und Baccarat mit deutschen Dealern. Deutschsprachige Dealer gibt es in der Hauptzeit.

    Die Willkommenspromo bei Play Fortuna liegt bei 100 Prozent bis 500 Euro, und Gratisdrehungen in Tagesraten. Umsatzbedingung ist 40x, streng aber branchenueblich. Gueltige Bonusbedingungen sind nachzulesen auf [url=https://wordpress-qsbkw.wasmer.app/2026/09/23/play-fortuna-was-sie-uber-casino-bonus-sportwetten-wissen-sollten/]play fortuna[/url] vor der Einzahlung pruefen. Reload-Boni gibt es woechentlich.

    Mindesteinzahlung sind 10 Euro. Karten und E-Wallets funktionieren, Krypto ist auch moeglich. Per Wallet ging es in unter 24 Stunden, Auf die Karte waren es drei Werktage. Verifizierung lief glatt — Ausweis und Adressnachweis, fertig am selben Tag.

    Auf dem Handy nutze ich die mobile Webseite, Performance ist gut. Support antwortet auf Deutsch im Chat Wartezeit liegt bei drei bis fuenf Minuten. Reguliert wird ueber Curacao, also keine deutsche GGL-Lizenz. Unterm Strich stimmt die Zahlungsmoral.

    Been playing at Trino Casino for a good few months, mostly in the evenings, so take this as a regular player’s take. Signed up because of a mate’s recommendation, and sign-up took under five minutes — just email and a password, though they did want verification before the first payout, standard stuff with a UKGC licence.

    The lobby is genuinely big — roughly 3,000+ slots and tables by my rough count. Pragmatic is everywhere, so you get the obvious ones — Gates of Olympus pinned to the popular tab. Play’n Go brings Book of Dead, plus a fair chunk of NetEnt and Microgaming in there too. My go-to is the Megaways section if I’ve got patience.

    The bonus at Trino Casino was a 100% match to ?300 with 150 spins, split across a few deposits. Wagering is 40x, and that’s fair enough by 2026 standards. Minimum is ?10. They also run a small no deposit thing if you sign up to emails — it rotates, so it’s worth a check the latest offers over on trino casino before you commit.

    Payouts are the bit that matters, and here Trino Casino has been fine. Cashed out ?280 via Skrill last week and it cleared in about six hours. Debit cards are there, Skrill and Neteller are faster, plus there’s crypto if that’s your thing. My gripe: bank transfers dragged on for nearly a week the first time.

    Live chat runs round the clock and the people there actually read what you write, though the first reply can take a good quarter of an hour on a Saturday night. The live section is all Evolution, so real croupiers, proper blackjack and roulette tables, and Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette if you like the game show stuff — I don’t, much. No app, only a browser version, which is fine on iPhone though sometimes forgets my filters.
