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.
Zagladam tu regularnie od trzech miesiecy z hakiem, wiec cos tam juz wiem. Trafilem tam przez znajomego z pracy, nie liczac na cuda. Lobby w Vox Casino to jakies 3000+ pozycji — Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, Play’n GO i Big Time Gaming sa na miejscu, wiec Gates of Olympus czy Book of Dead odpalisz bez szukania.
Najwiecej czasu spedzam w dziale z krupierami. Evolution ciagnie tam praktycznie wszystko, wiec ruletka, blackjack i Crazy Time chodza plynnie. Crazy Time to moja zguba, choc realnie to loteria z ladna oprawa. Czego brakuje, to stolow po polsku, wiec angielski sie przydaje.
Oferta na start w Vox Casino wyglada na 100% do 1500 zl i dwiescie spinow, a spiny leca partiami przez piec dni, nie wszystkie naraz. Warunek obrotu x40 — do przerobienia, jesli grasz spokojnie. Prog wejscia to jakies 40 zl, formularz to trzy pola i mail potwierdzajacy. Czy jakis kod jeszcze dziala, weryfikuje w kody vox casino, bo czesc starych ofert juz wygasla. Uwaga: kod trzeba wklepac przed wplata, potem support juz nic nie zrobi.
Kasa schodzi u nich calkiem sprawnie. Skrill i Neteller laduje na koncie w kilka godzin, przelew na Visa/Mastercard potrafi sie ciagnac dwa-trzy dni robocze. Bitcoin obsluguja, sprawdzalem raz, i to akurat najszybsza opcja. KYC w Vox Casino zajal mi dwa dni — dowod plus rachunek za prad, to normalne przy licencji Curacao.
Czego mi brakuje — nie ma appki, tylko wersja przegladarkowa. Na telefonie wszystko sie skaluje poprawnie, tyle ze wyszukiwarka gier moglaby byc lepsza. Obsluga w Vox Casino odpowiada po polsku, czekalem gora piec minut, choc raz o trzeciej w nocy trafilem chyba na bota. Grac tam da sie spokojnie, byle z glowa i limitem na koncie.
Gram tu od zeszlej zimy, przewaznie automaty i troche live, wiec napisze pare slow. W 888starz katalog gier jest spory — grubo ponad 3000 automatow, z czego polowa to pewnie klony. NetEnt dominuje — Sweet Bonanza i Gates of Olympus chodza non stop, choc osobiscie wole Book of Dead. Jest tez Yggdrasil i Big Time Gaming dla lubiacych mocniejsza wariancje.
Live to Evolution, co samo w sobie mowi wszystko. Prawdziwi krupierzy, sa nawet polskojezyczne stoly, Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette sa chyba najbardziej oblegane wieczorami. To co mi przeszkadza — przy slabszym laczu potrafi sie zaciac, ale to raczej moja wina niz ich.
Startowy bonus w 888starz wynosi 100% do okolo 1500 zl i 150 darmowych spinow, rozlozone na pierwsze wplaty. Warunek obrotu x35 co jest w miare uczciwe, ale bez cudow. Byl tez maly bonus bez depozytu po potwierdzeniu konta, raczej na sprobowanie niz na wygrana. Swieze promocje sa opisane pod 888 starz app jesli komus sie chce grzebac. Minimalny depozyt w okolicach 20-25 zl, rejestracja zajmuje doslownie minute, ale weryfikacje dokumentow zrob od razu.
Cashouty ida raczej szybko. Skrill i Neteller wchodzi mi tego samego dnia, Visa/Mastercard wolniej, do trzech dni. Platnosci krypto sa najwygodniejsze — ostatnio wyplacalem w USDT i bylo po 20 minutach. Obsluga 888starz gada po polsku, zwykle czekam 3-5 minut na konsultanta, chociaz zdarzyl sie jeden gosc odpowiadajacy szablonami.
Z telefonu korzystam najwiecej — wersja przegladarkowa jest lekka, do tego wypuscili 888 starz app. Wzialem apke na 888starz android bo szybciej sie odpala, nie zawiesza sie. Uwaga na marginesie — kraza lewe pliki podszywajace sie pod apk mod, to prosta droga do utraty konta, bierzcie plik wylacznie ze strony operatora. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao — czyli nie polski regulator, to juz kwestia indywidualna.
I’ve been playing at Nonebet for something like four months now, mostly late nights, and might as well write something up since someone asked me the other day. Signup was painless — email, password, done, although the ID verification came later, which is normal enough. Min deposit was around $10 which is fair.
There’s a stupid amount of games — I’d guess around 4,000 slots and tables from memory. Pragmatic Play stuff is everywhere, so Gates of Olympus, Big Bass, the usual suspects get pushed hard. I tend to grind Big Time Gaming Megaways because the volatility suits me. Microgaming back catalogue is there as well. The live section runs on Evolution, so you get real croupiers, blackjack tables at all hours and Crazy Time if that’s your thing.
Bonus-wise the offer when I joined was 100% up to $500 plus 100 free spins, wagering was 35x which 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 have a look at Nonebet if you’re thinking about it. What did get on my nerves was the max bet rule while wagering — I busted it by accident once and the balance got voided. Lesson learned.
Cashouts at Nonebet have been fine, mostly. Bitcoin withdrawals landed same day every time I’ve done it, e-wallets were about a day, and the one card withdrawal took three business days which is the slow lane. Funding is instant with Visa, Mastercard and the usual coins.
Support got back to me in about five minutes at midnight, actual humans once you get past the bot. Nonebet doesn’t have a proper app as far as I can tell — it’s just the mobile browser, works well enough on the Android. Licensed out of Curacao, so not local regulation, something to be aware of for us down here.
Ogrywam sie tam od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec wypada sie podzielic. Podrzucil mi to kumpel z innego forum, bo mialem dosc gdzie sloty laduja sie normalnie. Lobby jest naprawde spore — gdzies kolo 2500 automatow, przy czym polowy z tego nigdy nie odpale. Play’n GO, Pragmatic i Yggdrasil dominuja, sa oczywiscie Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead.
Pakiet powitalny w Fiery Play to 100% do 1200 zl plus 200 spinow gratis, wydawanych po pare pierwszych dni. Wymog obrotu wynosi x35, czyli w miare uczciwe, tyle ze zerknijcie na limity — max bet w trakcie odgrywania to jakies 5 zl i mozna to przegapic. Byl tez jakis no deposit na 25 spinow, bodajze na jakis czas. Biezace oferty widac na fiery play polska przed zalozeniem konta.
Rejestracja zajela mi doslownie chwila, najnizsza wplata wynosi 50 zl. Zwykle ide karta, czasem Neteller, wyjscia z kasa mialem chyba cztery — raz zeszlo pol dnia, raz czekalem prawie trzy dni, bo kazali doslac dowod. Bitcoin tez obsluguja i to leci najszybciej.
Najwiecej czasu spedzam w dziale live — to Evolution stoi za stolami, czesc krupierow mowi po polsku, co dla mnie bylo zaskoczeniem. Crazy Time tez maja, choc ja tam bardziej ogladam niz gram. Stoly blackjacka maja przyzwoity wybor.
Gram glownie z komorki, przegladarkowo smiga calkiem niezle, choc na LTE w tramwaju live czasem przycina. Licencja jest curacaowska, wiec bez cudow — na razie nie mam sie do czego przyczepic. Support Fiery Play odpisuje po polsku i to zywy czlowiek, nie bot. Najbardziej denerwuje mnie to spam promocyjny na maila — ale da sie to wylaczyc.
