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/).

IMB NVOCC Register Now in Singapore

The IMB NVOCC Register was officially launched in Singapore last month, attended by more than 100 representatives from banks, logistics companies and trading firms.

    Pelasin Lottolandissa pari kuukautta sitten ja rehellisesti sanottuna en odottanu hirveesti mutta meni ihan hyvin. Tilin luonti oli nopee, taytti vaan perustiedot ja oli valmis. Minimitalletuksen sai tehtya 10 eurolla Visan kautta eika siina menny ku hetki. Taa on yks niista jutuista minka huomaa heti — hitaat maksut on dealbreaker.

    Pelivalikoimasta taytyy sanoo et sita riittaa. Lottoland tarjoo tunnetuilta pelintekijoilta kuten Play’n GO ja Microgaming, eli laatua loytyy. Ite pyorittelin Sweet Bonanzaa paaasiassa ja voittoki tuli pari kertaa. Slotteja on varmaan satoja ja sit on blackjackia ja rulettia tietenkin. Yks miinus tosin — pelien etsinta vois olla parempi, joutuu valilla selaamaan.

    Live-puolelta loytyy Evolutionin livekamaa ja pelattiin Crazy Timea ja blackjackia yksin illalla. Striimi pelaa hyvin puhelimella, eika tarvi erillista appia. Bonuksista sen verran — ma sain matchbonuksen plus freespinneja. Kierratys oli kolmisenkymmenta kertaa ja se on standardi. Ehdot kannattaa vilkasta aina etukateen.

    Rahojen kotiuttaminen Lottolandista meni mulle kohtuullisesti. Netellerin kautta meni pari tuntia ja korttimaksu meni ehka kolme paivaa. Ihan perus mutta ei valittamista. Voit kattoo bonuskoodit ja edut katevasti https://aberstar.com ennen ku rekisteroidyt. Tukitiimi toimii chatin kautta ja oon saanu ihan nopeesti bonusasiassa.

    Puhelimella onnistuu suoraan selaimessa eika tarvi ladata mitaan. Sivusto aukeaa nopeesti ja slotit toimii moitteetta. Lottolandilla on EU-lisenssi ja se on mulle tarkeeta. Ainoo pieni miinus on et suomenkielista tukee ei taida olla, ei se iso juttu oo. Kaiken kaikkiaan jatkan pelaamista siella kunnes joku parempi tulee vastaan.

    So I’ve been playing at Rolletto for roughly a couple of months and wanted to share what I think. Came across it after googling around for somewhere new because I was getting bored of where I normally play. Registration was like a couple of minutes, just the usual details, then I put in ?20 as a first deposit — that’s the minimum which is fair enough.

    First deposit bonus was decent actually — I got a match of 100% up to €500 plus 200 spins thrown in. The rollover sits at 35x which is about average I’ve seen. They gave the spins for Big Bass Bonanza I think. I’ll be honest, I didn’t win much from the spins but the matched funds stretched things out nicely.

    Game selection at Rolletto is honestly massive. You’ll find titles by Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, plus Evolution on the live side. I’ve been hammering Sweet Bonanza plus some BTG Megaways like Bonanza. Must be 3000-odd games in total. Live casino’s decent — roulette, blackjack, plus I’ve wasted hours on Crazy Time which is dangerously fun. Real croupiers streaming, stream is really clean.

    Cashing out is where I was sceptical at first and so far it’s been fine. I withdraw to Neteller and it took about 24 hours. They also do crypto like BTC and other options for flexibility. I’d check out what they’ve got on offer on rolletto casino to see for yourself. My one annoyance — KYC took nearly a week to process and dragged on a bit.

    Mobile-wise, Rolletto works well through Safari — there’s no dedicated app which I actually prefer. It’s responsive and I’ve played on the bus no problems. Customer service is live chat 24/7 and I got an answer in a couple of minutes when I asked about my withdrawal. It’s operating under a Curacao licence — no UK licence so some people might care about that.

    Look, there are niggles — that slow verification plus the layout feels slightly cluttered in places. But there’s loads to play, withdrawals have landed every time, and the matched deposit gave me plenty of play time. Might not suit everyone but I’ll be sticking with Rolletto for a while yet.

    Mi sono imbattuto in Crazy Time qualche settimana fa tramite un amico e devo dire che ci gioco ancora adesso. Non mi aspettavo granche visto che di piattaforme ce ne sono a pacchi, ma il catalogo giochi e enorme. Hanno roba di Pragmatic Play come Sweet Bonanza e Gates of Olympus, e anche parecchie slot di NetEnt piu roba Play’n GO come Book of Dead. Ci saranno oltre duemila titoli, insomma c’e da perdersi.

    Il live casino e quella che mi ha preso di piu. Tutto in mano a Evolution, con dealer dal vivo e si vede che e roba professionale. Ho passato ore su la ruota di Crazy Time e ci perdi le serate. Blackjack, baccarat e roulette non mancano, ma i game show ti tengono incollato allo schermo. Un difetto che noto e che la sera nei weekend qualche tavolo lagga, niente di tragico pero.

    Quando ti registri su Crazy Time ti danno un 100% fino a 500€ con in aggiunta 50 free spin sulla slot del momento. Il wagering e 35x, nella media direi. C’e chi offre meno, ma almeno i termini sono chiari. Il deposito minimo e di 20€. Se vi interessa date un occhio a le promo aggiornate passando da crazytime prima di registrarvi.

    Per versare e prelevare funzionano senza intoppi. Puoi usare Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller e pure crypto. La mia prima cashout e stata con Skrill e in 24 ore avevo i soldi. Meglio di certi posti dove aspetti una settimana. Da mobile Crazy Time si carica velocemente dal browser senza scaricare nulla, il sito e responsive e non da problemi. Un no deposit bonus non l’ho trovato, peccato.

    Il supporto e decente. Li ho contattati per chiedere info sul wagering e mi hanno risposto in pochi minuti. E rispondono in italiano. La licenza e Curacao, che non e il massimo, pero finora zero problemi. Per chi gioca dall’Italia mi trovo bene.

    Sono finito su Crazy Time tipo qualche settimana fa tramite un post su un forum e devo dire che non me l’aspettavo. Non ci credevo molto, come sempre con i siti nuovi, ma dopo averci giocato un po’ mi sono ricreduto. La registrazione e stata veloce, tipo cinque minuti e ero dentro. Il deposito minimo non e alto, mi pare 10 euro, il che e comodo per farsi un’idea.

    La selezione di giochi e parecchio fornita. Hanno slot di Pragmatic Play come Gates of Olympus che e una bomba, e anche roba di NetEnt e pure Play’n GO tipo Book of Dead. In totale ci saranno oltre mille giochi tra slot e tavoli. La sezione live e gestita da Evolution con croupier veri — lo show Crazy Time con la ruota e il mio preferito, le moltiplicazioni a volte sono assurde. Ci perdo piu tempo del dovuto.

    Il bonus iniziale che ho preso su Crazy Time e stato del 100% fino a 500€ con in aggiunta 50 giri gratis su Sweet Bonanza. Il requisito di scommessa e di 35x, potrebbe essere piu basso ma e gestibile per il settore. Ci sono anche offerte senza deposito di tanto in tanto per chi gioca gia, il che e un bel tocco. Vi consiglio di dare un’occhiata alle offerte attuali su crazy time apk prima di registrarvi.

    Lato pagamenti si puo usare le carte principali, Skrill e Neteller, e pure crypto se preferite. I prelievi li ho ricevuti entro un giorno sull’e-wallet, il che non e male. Una cosa comoda e che hanno l’app — ho fatto il crazy time download sul telefono e gira liscia. Non serve cercare la crazy time apk da siti strani dato che direttamente dal sito la scarichi in un attimo. Ormai gioco piu da mobile.

    L’assistenza su Crazy Time e raggiungibile in chat h24 e anche in italiano, il che per me conta parecchio. L’unica nota negativa: il KYC ci ha messo quasi 72 ore, piu del previsto. Ma dopo quello zero problemi. Sono regolati Curacao, non e AAMS ma almeno c’e. Sono soddisfatto e non ho motivo di cambiare.

    So I’ve been messing around on Revery Play for roughly two months now and wanted to give my two cents on this. Signed up on a whim — minimum deposit was ?10 which wasn’t bad, deposited ?50 to start and got a matched deposit bonus up to 500 quid and 200 free spins. The rollover’s 35x and isn’t the lowest I’ve seen but I’ve seen way worse.

    Game-wise actually surprised me — there’s over 3000 slots and table games from providers like Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and Yggdrasil. I’ve been smashing Book of Dead a lot — pulled a nice win on Book of Dead recently. Live tables is powered by Evolution — the game shows are great fun, real croupiers and everything.

    One thing that sold me on Revery Play is the cashout speed. Paying with Skrill and the payout landed in under 24 hours. They also take Bitcoin and Neteller for those who prefer it. You can check out their full bonus page over at https://northdownsbs.co.uk before you sign up.

    Tbh, not everything is amazing. Live chat at Revery Play isn’t the fastest — had to wait like 15 minutes for live chat one evening. The mobile site runs okay though it feels a bit clunky versus bigger brands. There’s no app as such, it’s browser-only on mobile.

    Still, I’m still playing there which says enough really. Revery Play is regulated and I haven’t had any dodgy issues. If you’re in the UK it’s a decent option — just temper expectations on live chat wait times.

    There is something very approachable about the way this post presents its message, because the wording feels balanced and easygoing while still keeping the discussion informative and relevant for a broad online audience.
