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.

Lange nur gelesen, jetzt schreibe ich selbst, und bei Play Fortuna taucht immer die gleiche Frage auf: zahlt der Laden aus oder nicht. Ich habe dort seit einigen Monaten ein Konto, also schreibe ich aus eigener Erfahrung und nicht vom Hoerensagen. Kurz vorweg: mein Geld kam bisher immer an, aber es gibt Punkte, die man kennen sollte.
Zum rechtlichen Teil: der Anbieter arbeitet mit einer Curacao Lizenz, nicht die deutsche Aufsicht. Das ist kein Beweis fuer Abzocke, bedeutet aber, dass man sich bei Streit nicht an eine deutsche Behoerde wenden kann. Wer nur mit deutscher Lizenz spielen will, ist hier falsch. Die Einzahlungslimits und die Panikknoepfe aus dem deutschen Recht fehlen entsprechend, was manche gut finden und andere gefaehrlich.
Zum Bonus – das ist der Punkt, an dem die meisten Abzocke rufen. Angeboten wird ein Match Bonus samt Freispielen, der Umsatz liegt bei 40x. Dazu kommt ein maximaler Einsatz pro Runde waehrend des Bonus, und genau daran scheitern die meisten. Die aktuellen Bedingungen und Codes stehen auf casino fortuna vor der ersten Einzahlung lesen, nicht danach.
Meine Auszahlungen: kleinere Betraege bis 300 Euro waren innerhalb eines Tages da, bei einer groesseren Summe dauerte es drei Tage. Die Verifizierung wollte Ausweis und Adressnachweis, beim ersten Versuch war der Scan zu unscharf, beim zweiten Anlauf ging es durch. Wer erst bei der Auszahlung verifiziert, wartet natuerlich laenger.
Unterm Strich: von Betrug wuerde ich nach meiner Erfahrung nicht sprechen, aber es ist ein Anbieter ohne deutsche Lizenz mit allem, was dazugehoert. Die meisten wuetenden Beitraege im Netz drehen sich um verlorene Bonusgewinne, weniger um reale Auszahlungssperren. Einzahlungslimit selbst festlegen, Bonus weglassen, frueh verifizieren – damit hat man die haeufigsten Probleme vom Tisch.
Sono passato al mobile su Crazy Time la scorsa primavera, quindi non parlo dopo due serate. Per mesi sono andato avanti col sito mobile, poi ho provato la versione app e la differenza si sente. Lo streaming regge meglio, le puntate si piazzano senza quel ritardo fastidioso.
Due parole su come funziona, Crazy Time e’ il game show di Evolution, dove la ruota manda ai bonus: i quattro round speciali che tutti aspettano. L’RTP dichiarato gira intorno al 96 per cento, anche se cambia a seconda di dove punti. Il minimo al tavolo e’ basso, per cui si testa il gioco con poco.
Sull’app conviene dire come stanno le cose: su Android si scarica il pacchetto dal sito dell’operatore, perche’ Google limita le app di gioco in molti paesi. Su iPhone invece si aggiunge la scheda alla schermata home, e all’atto pratico e’ lo stesso. La guida all’installazione e il file corretto si trovano su crazy time casino app conviene prendere il pacchetto da li’ e non da forum a caso.
La diretta non divora giga come temevo, ma la connessione deve essere stabile. Sotto rete mobile scarsa il video scende di qualita’, il tavolo resta giocabile. L’ho installata su due dispositivi, e non si e’ mai chiusa da sola. Non e’ un macigno per la memoria.
Sui prelievi non ho avuto guai: su Skrill entro la giornata, in banca due o tre giorni. Il controllo dei documenti conviene farlo prima di vincere, altrimenti il primo pagamento si allunga. L’assistenza risponde in italiano in pochi minuti. In sintesi vale il tempo, purche’ si giochi con budget deciso prima.
Konto zalozylem na poczatku roku, wiec to nie jest opinia po jednym wieczorze. Szukalem kasyna z sensownym cashbackiem, bo po powitalnym pakiecie zwykle nic juz sie nie dzieje. Fieryplay akurat tego nie robi – cotygodniowy cashback leci regularnie, zaleznie od poziomu w klubie.
Sam wybor gier jest naprawde obszerny, z czego realnie gram na kilkunastu. Za soft odpowiadaja Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Yggdrasil i Push Gaming, czyli to co powinno byc. Kasyno na zywo to Evolution, czyli caly ten cyrk z kolami fortuny. Stoly po polsku owszem sa, ale nie o kazdej porze dnia.
Bonus na start wynosi 100% do jakichs 2000 zl plus spiny, z warunkiem obrotu czterdziestokrotnym, a wiec bez cudow, ale i bez przesady. Biezace promocje razem z kodami najlepiej podejrzec na fieryplay przed pierwszym depozytem. Niezle wygladaja cotygodniowe turnieje, nagrody potrafia byc konkretne.
Prog wplaty wynosi okolo 40 zl, zwykle korzystam z Blika albo karty, do wyboru sa karty, e-portfele i krypto. Kasa wraca w ciagu doby na e-wallet, na konto w banku dluzej, do trzech dni. KYC przeszedlem przy drugim podejsciu, bo pierwszy skan byl nieczytelny, potem juz bez problemow.
Z komorki korzystam bez aplikacji i szczerze, appka nie jest mi potrzebna. Wczytuje sie bez zaciec, tylko transmisje live lubia przyciac na slabym zasiegu. Support odpowiada po polsku i to nie maszynowy belkot, odpowiadali w granicach pieciu minut. Licencja Curacao wiec tak jak cala reszta rynku. Grunt, ze kasa wraca bez cyrku.
Signed up here since the spring, so the honeymoon phase is long over. A friend from another forum pointed me at it, because I wanted somewhere that actually pays out on time. The catalogue here runs to a few thousand titles, although in practice I stick to a dozen or so.
Game supply is the standard top tier: Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, with Nolimit City and Hacksaw in the mix. The obvious hits are all present, though personally I prefer the higher volatility stuff. The live section is Evolution, which means the usual roulette and game-show line-up. English speaking dealers around the clock, though the low stake blackjack seats fill up in the evening.
The starting package is nothing extraordinary but fair: a 100% match to around ?500 plus spins, with the spins dripping in over several days. Wagering sits at 35x, which is normal for this market. Up to date bonus terms are listed over at true fortune before you deposit. There is a small no deposit thing that appears now and then, although you will not retire on it.
Registration took about three minutes, minimum deposit is ?10. Card and e-wallet both work, and crypto is there too if that is your thing. Cashouts to Skrill took under a day, card withdrawals were slower, as always. The document check was the only hassle – I had to send the ID twice, though it went through on the second go.
On the phone I just use the browser and it does the job fine. It loads quickly, but streaming tables want a solid connection. Live chat replies in English and it reads like a person, not a script, response was quick enough. They hold a Curacao licence so it is not UKGC and you should know that going in. Bottom line, cashouts have been honoured so far.
hey thanks for the info. appreciate the good work
