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.

супер,давно так не смеялс
много было разговоров об этом. но думаю, что труха.
Gram tu od jakichs cztery miechy, wiec moge juz cos sensownego napisac. Trafilem przypadkiem, szukalem czegos z normalnym wyborem gier. Na dzien dobry rzuca sie w oczy, ze automatow jest naprawde sporo — w okolicach 3000 tytulow, w wiekszosci Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i troche Yggdrasil. Klasyki typu Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead sa, ale nie ukrywam siedze glownie na Reactoonz.
Bonus powitalny na Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny to: 100% do 2500 zl plus 100 darmowych spinow, rozbite na pierwsze dwie-trzy wplaty. Obrot wynosi 35x, czyli norma, choc warto przeczytac warunki — jest tam limit zakladu 4 zl przy odgrywaniu i paru ludzi juz sie na tym przejechalo. Kod wbijalem przy rejestracji, bo potem juz go nie doklepiesz.
Jak ktos chce porownac obecne promocje, to najlepiej zajrzec do fair play casino kod promocyjny zanim wplacicie pierwsza stowe, bo to sie kreci dosc szybko. Widzialem tez darmowe spiny bez wplaty, ale nie zawsze sa dostepne.
Sekcja live stoi na Evolution — ruletki po polsku bywaja po godzinie 18, no i Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette i ten caly Monopoly Live. Stoly sa od 2 zl, wiec nie trzeba miec grubego portfela. Minus ze czasem ladowanie stolu potrafi trwac na mobilnym LTE.
Wyplaty z Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny wychodza przyzwoicie: Neteller i e-portfele w kilka godzin, karta potrafi ciagnac sie 2-3 dni, BTC najszybciej. Minimalny depozyt to 40 zl, zakladanie konta zajmuje doslownie minute, ale KYC przy pierwszej wyplacie trwala prawie dwa dni — skan dowodu plus rachunek za prad. Papiery curacaowska, czyli standard w tym segmencie, ale kasa przyszla bez zbednych pytan.
Support na Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny gada po polsku na czacie, czekalem jakies kilka minut, konkretnie. Dedykowanej apki nie ma, ale wersja przegladarkowa chodzi plynnie na moim telefonie. Nie jest to ideal, natomiast siedze dalej i jak na razie nie mialem realnych problemow z kasa.
Siedze tu od jakichs czterech miesiecy, wiec chyba moge cos napisac. Wszedlem tu z polecenia znajomego, ktory wczesniej obstawial gdzie indziej. Biblioteka gier na 888starz mocno mnie zaskoczyla — jakies 6000 tytulow, choc szczerze mowiac polowy nigdy nie odpalisz. Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO i NetEnt sa najbardziej widoczne, Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead sa na pierwszym miejscu w popularnych.
Bonus powitalny to 100% od wplaty i do tego darmowe spiny. Jak wklepiesz kod bonusowy w formularzu warunki sa odrobine lepsze. Tylko uwazajcie na jedno — warunki obrotu to x35-x40, i termin jest krotki, bodajze 7 dni. Za pierwszym razem mi przepadlo. Aktualne kody mozna podejrzec na 888starz zanim klikniesz “zaloz konto”.
Kasa schodza od 20 zl, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller — wszystko jest. Ja wyplacam w krypto bo idzie najszybciej. Wyplaty w 888starz na portfele przychodzi w kilka godzin, za to na konto bankowe czekalem raz trzy dni. Weryfikacja KYC to standard — zatwierdzili nastepnego dnia.
Live to w wiekszosci Evolution i to widac po jakosci. Ruletka na zywo, blackjack, Crazy Time — krupierzy realni, jakosc obrazu ok. Szkoda tylko ze po polsku prawie nic nie ma. Na telefonie wszystko smiga w przegladarce, dostepna jest appka, ale ja jej nie uzywam.
Czat na 888starz jest po polsku i to bez translatora. Odpowiedz przychodzi w kilka minut. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao, co nie kazdemu podpasuje. Dla mnie liczy sie ze placa, ale trzeba miec to z tylu glowy.
Been signed up at Single Bet Calculator since the spring, mostly late at night on the sofa, so take this for what it’s worth. Found it through a Reddit thread, not an ad.
The slots side is frankly enormous — around 2,500 titles last time I counted. Play’n GO is everywhere, so Gates of Olympus and the usual suspects are all there. I tend to live on Betsoft games out of pure habit. The one thing that irks me — the search function on Single Bet Calculator is a bit rubbish, filters half work.
The live dealer bit is almost entirely Evolution, no complaints there. Proper human dealers, decent stream quality, and Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette is where I lose most of my money, honestly. Fair to note the UK side is well covered in the evenings. If you’re weighing up the promos it’s worth a look over on https://junxypowersolutions.com/news/yankee-calculator-steps-and-methods-uk-guide-to-bonuses-payments-mobile-betting rather than taking my word for it.
The sign-up deal at Single Bet Calculator was ?100 matched plus 100 spins on Book of Dead. Rollover is 35x which is standard-ish. They also ran 20 no deposit spins on verification. ?10 minimum, same as everywhere, the form was short enough, verification took about 24 hours.
Cashouts have been the best part. Debit card take 2-3 days, Skrill and Neteller were same-day for me, and crypto clears fastest. Pulled ?180 out on Tuesday no silly document requests. Support at Single Bet Calculator answered in about four minutes — copy-paste at first but fine after. Properly licensed for UK players, which matters more than the bonus size. App-wise there’s nothing, just the mobile site.
