International Maritime Bureau (IMB)
launches new NVOCC Code of Conduct
The ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has established a register for Non-Vessel-Owning Common Carriers (NVOCCs). The purpose of the register is to improve anti-fraud standards and to encourage higher standards by providing a mechanism to recognise. participating NVOCCs that adhere to a minimum standard of anti-fraud measures in their operations.
According to the IMB, NVOCCs issue more than 90% of all suspect bills of lading identified in its database. Suspect bills of lading are those which have false contents, including the incorrect vessel, dates, description of the cargo, container numbers or parties. They are presented to banks in order to commit fraud, money laundering, illegal capital flight and to bypass sanctions.
For the purposes of the scheme an NVOCC is defined as “a company that issues bills of lading and assumes the role of the carrier of the cargo.” Joining the IMB scheme does not relieve an NVOCC of its obligation to register its company or activities with the local authority concerned, for instance the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC). It is relevant to point out to our readers that the ICC’s and the IMB’s definition of an NVOCC is specifically ‘Non-Vessel-Owning Common Carrier’ whereas other organisations, such as the FMC, the World Shipping Council and the TT Club, define an NVOCC as a ‘Non Vessel-Operating Common Carrier’.
Whilst it is acknowledged that there are many NVOCCs that operate to high standards, the simple fact cannot be ignored that there are some that do not. This sector is unregulated in many countries and the standards of trade knowledge are very variable. The result has been that bills of lading are issued by them and financed by banks posing a risk of fraud or money laundering for banks.
The objective of this initiative is to impose a greater degree of accountability upon NVOCCs. It is hoped to increase the essential role played by the bill of lading. At BIFA, from the communications it regularly receives, it is clear that many people do not understand the key threefold role of a bill of lading, and in particular the potential for it to be a ‘negotiable’ document, giving the holder title to the goods. One point that Bifa has emphasised for many years, and which this latest initiative also highlights, is that information declared on a bill of lading has to be accurate. It mirrors the relevant information from the Master bill of lading issued by the physical carrier.
As stated in the opening line of this article the IMB is opening a register of NVOCCs around the world. The scheme is voluntary, but it does intend to differentiate between those traders who wish to demonstrate their expertise and those who do not. NVOCCs will be required to provide their full contact details, including physical business address and the full names of two directors (designated persons) who will assume responsibility for the NVOCC following its joining of the register.
The ICC and the IMB have written a Code of Conduct detailing acceptable business practices to be followed by NVOCCs when issuing and processing bills of lading. NVOCCs seeking registration with the IMB will be required to sign the Code of Conduct valid for one year. In addition, NVOCCs will be required to pay an administrative fee for registration. The identity of all registered NVOCCs will be published on a website administered by the IMB. It should be noted that the website will not include information on designated persons.
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).
The agreement includes a requirement for NVOCCs to promptly answer questions from the IMB regarding a bill of lading issued. If an NVOCC is unable to satisfactorily explain a query regarding a bill of lading issued by it, or there is some evidence that the document contained false information, it will be recorded as a ‘strike’ in the IMB’s database. Two such ‘strikes’ within year will result in the NVOCC’s removal from the Register, unless it can demonstrate that it has put procedures in place to ensure that these errors are no longer repeated. Suggested corrective actions include sending staff on training courses and close monitoring of their work.
The very broad definition of an NVOCC has to be borne in mind when taking this new proposal into consideration. In effect, any forwarder issuing a house bill of lading is likely to fall within the scope of this registration scheme and could therefore join it. Like many such voluntary schemes the registration requirements are relatively low and currently there does not appear to be a substantive mechanism to ensure compliance.
However, any scheme aiming to improve standards is to be welcomed and membership of the scheme should be regarded as indicating an NVOCC’s commitment to meet minimum acceptable standards relative to issuing essential trade documentation papers. It is hoped that this will be beneficial to the shipping and freight industry and will surely reduce potential exposures to fraudulent activity in the supply chain.

Salom hammaga, men bu yerda qariyb yarim yildan beri o’ynayman, shuning uchun tajribamni bo’lishmoqchiman. Ochig’i, boshida ishonmagandim — bizda bunaqa kontoralar to’lib yotibdi, yarmisi pul to’lamaydi. Ammo 888starz mening holatimda shu paytgacha muammo tug’dirmadi.
O’yinlar tomonini aytsam, assortiment haqiqatan katta — menimcha 6000ga yaqin oshadi, hech kim sanab chiqmagan bo’lsa kerak. Asosan Pragmatic Play o’yinlarini aylantiraman: Gates of Olympus va Sweet Bonanza klassika, ba’zan Play’n GO ning Book of Dead ga o’tib turaman. NetEnt va Yggdrasil dan ham yetarlicha bor, faqat bularni siyrak ochaman. Live qismi alohida gap — Evolution dan, haqiqiy dilerlar, Crazy Time esa ishdan keyin dam olishga juda mos.
Bonus tomoni ancha munosib: dastlabki to’ldirishda 100 foiz qo’shimcha plyus 200 bepul aylanish beriladi. Faqat shartga e’tibor bering — ko’pincha x35 atrofida, ya’ni tezda chiqarolmaysiz, shoshilmaslik kerak. O’zim avvaliga qoidalarni to’liq ko’rmay olib yubordim va biroz kuyib qoldim. Amaldagi takliflarni 888starz скачать на андроид orqali tekshirib olishingiz mumkin, pul tashlashdan avval shu foydali bo’ladi.
To’lovlar bo’yicha: Visa va Mastercard bemalol o’tadi, Skrill bilan Neteller ham qo’shilgan, Bitcoin orqali ham mumkin — o’zim asosan kriptodan foydalanib turaman, chunki tezroq. Minimal depozit kichkina, taxminan 20 000 so’m atrofida desa ham bo’ladi. O’tgan hafta yechib oldim — hamyonga bir soatga qolmay keldi, karta bilan bo’lsa bir kunga yaqin kutdim.
Telefon versiyasi haqida ikki og’iz: saytdan ilovani yuklab olsa bo’ladi, android da bemalol o’rnatiladi, iPhone uchun ham yo’l topilgan, lekin biroz chalkashroq. Mobil brauzerda ham normal ochiladi, ilova esa yengilroq tuyuldi. Meni yoqmagan jihat — hujjat tekshiruvi biroz sekin bo’ldi, uch kunga yaqin kutdim, qo’llab-quvvatlash esa ruscha normal ishlaydi, o’zbek tilida gohida kechikadi. Ruxsatnoma Curacao dan, demak xalqaro standart — ba’zilar buni yoqtirmaydi, men uchun muhim emas, negaki pul chiqarishda kamchilik ko’rmadim.
Assalomu alaykum, men bu yerda qariyb yarim yildan beri o’ynayman, shuning uchun tajribamni bo’lishmoqchiman. Ochig’i, boshida ishonmagandim — O’zbekistonda bunaqa kontoralar to’lib yotibdi, ko’pchiligi to’lovda ming bahona qiladi. Lekin 888starz mening holatimda shu paytgacha umuman aldamadi.
Slotlar tomonini aytsam, tanlov haqiqatan katta — menimcha 4000dan oshadi, aniq sanamadim. Asosan Pragmatic Play narsalarini aylantiraman: Gates of Olympus va Sweet Bonanza klassika, ba’zan Play’n GO ning Book of Dead ga o’tib turaman. NetEnt va Yggdrasil ham bor, lekin bularni kamroq o’ynayman. Jonli bo’lim alohida gap — Evolution dan, haqiqiy dilerlar, Crazy Time esa kechqurun vaqt o’tkazishga zo’r.
Xush kelibsiz bonusi tomoni ham yomon emas: birinchi depozitga 100% ustiga va yana 100 frispin tushadi. Ammo shu yerda veydjerga qarab qo’ying — odatda x40 chamasi, demak tezda chiqarolmaysiz, sabr kerak. O’zim birinchi safar shartlarni to’liq ko’rmay olgandim, keyin afsuslandim. Amaldagi takliflarni 888starz скачать ios dan ko’rib chiqsangiz bo’ladi, pul tashlashdan avval shu foydali bo’ladi.
Pul kirim-chiqimi haqida: kartalar ishlaydi, Skrill bilan Neteller ham bor, kripto ham qabul qilinadi — men asosan USDT dan foydalanaman, sababi kutish kam. Eng kam summa kichkina, taxminan 20 000 so’m chamasi bo’lsa kerak. O’tgan hafta chiqarib oldim — kriptoga bir soatga qolmay keldi, kartaga esa sutkacha kutdim.
Ilova haqida ham aytay: rasmiy sahifadan ilovani olish mumkin, Android uchun muammosiz o’rnatiladi, iPhone egalari ham yo’l topilgan, lekin biroz chalkashroq. Brauzerda ham yaxshi ochiladi, ilova esa yengilroq ko’rindi. Menga bezor qilgan narsa — verifikatsiya biroz sekin bo’ldi, uch kunga yaqin ovora bo’ldim, qo’llab-quvvatlash xizmati rus tilida normal ishlaydi, o’zbekchada gohida sekinroq. Litsenziya Curacao dan, ya’ni odatdagi standart — ba’zilar bunga e’tiroz bildiradi, menga shu ham yetarli, negaki to’lovda hozircha aldanmadim.
Salom barchaga, shaxsan o’zim taxminan besh oydan beri stavka qilaman, shuning uchun tajribamni bo’lishmoqchiman. Ochig’i, boshida shubha bilan qaragandim — bizda bunaqa kontoralar ko’p, yarmisi to’lovda ming bahona qiladi. Lekin 888starz mening holatimda shu paytgacha muammo tug’dirmadi.
