International Maritime Bureau

takes on bill of lading fraud with carrier register

The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) is seeking to stamp out bills of lading fraud with a code of conduct register for non-vessel owning common carriers (NVOCCs).

IMB is a division of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that specialises in tackling maritime crime and malpractice.

IMB claims that up to 95% of the false – erroneous or fraudulent – bills of lading it has identified are issued by NVOCCs.

Key Highlights

1

The bureau

which conducts bills of lading checks for its members, states that while the vast majority of NVOCCs issue documents correctly, there is a small minority that do not.
2

According to IMB

This could lead to fraudulent practices, and banks that unwittingly process false bills of lading may find no cargo underlying the documents, or that the shipments are misrepresented.
3

Emergence of eBLs

The emergence of eBLs has the potential to revolutionise the international trade industry as archaic paper-based systems mean goods are often held up in ports waiting for bills of lading to verify the goods. In addition to the increased speed of document transfers, the use of a blockchain-based system is also expected to significantly reduce the risk of fraudulent bills of lading being processed.

Bill of Lading Centre Stage

Bill of lading modernisation has taken centre stage recently: earlier this year tech giant IBM partnered with Pacific International Lines (PIL), one of Southeast Asia’s largest shipping firms, to complete a real-time pilot of its electronic bill of lading (eBL) add-on for the IBM Blockchain Platform.Elsewhere, platforms like Bolero and essDocs have long been working on industry-approved eBL applications that give carriers and logistics providers the ability to create, send and manage bills of lading digitally.

Bolero partnered with Evergreen Line

Bolero recently partnered with container carrier Evergreen Line to produce a paperless bill of lading and dispatch documentation via its ShipmentLink portal. It is also looking at how to redesign its eBL service using blockchain technology, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding with fintech consortium R3 in October.

NVOCC Register

The IMB NVOCC Register, which was launched in Singapore on January 15, will include a set of anti-fraud standards for the issuance of bills of lading and aims to create a database of creditable carriers that can be referred to by a NVOCC’s counterparties.

According to IMB

Member banks may also be able to process documents of carriers on the register faster than non-members
8

An IMB spokesperson tells GTR

The bureau’s members are encouraging their NVOCCS to join and that it has registered more than 10 carriers so far.
9

The spokesperson explains

Incidents of ship-owners/carriers or their agents issuing false bills of lading are uncommon because they take a big risk in doing so and open themselves to legal action.
10

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.”

    Sto girando su Crazy Time da un po’ da un paio di stagioni, quindi ha senso buttare giu qualcosa siccome qui se ne parlava. Non e il papiro da blog, giusto come e andata a me.

    Il motivo per cui sono rimasto e la parte live. Trovi gli show, blackjack con dealer in italiano a certe ore, e va da se la ruota con Cash Hunt e Pachinko. Sulle slot ci saranno 2.500 e passa slot: Pragmatic Play con Sweet Bonanza e Gates of Olympus, il vecchio Book of Dead di Play’n GO, un po’ di NetEnt, Big Time Gaming per chi ama i Megaways. Non e il piu fornito in assoluto, ma c’e quello che serve.

    Il benvenuto di Crazy Time era il classico 100% fino a 300€ con in aggiunta 200 giri gratis dati un po’ alla volta. Il wagering e 35x, cosa che non e una passeggiata pero e nella media del mercato. Girava anche dei free spin senza deposito pero ruota di continuo, quindi conviene guardare l’offerta del momento sul Crazy Time prima di registrarti.

    Il minimo per depositare 10€, registrazione con SPID e documento — a me hanno verificato in un giorno, a un amico quasi tre. Le carte passano senza problemi, Neteller e Skrill sono i piu rapidi in uscita, accettano pure crypto ma non l’ho provato. Gli incassi su Crazy Time mi sono arrivati in 24-48 ore via e-wallet, sul bonifico si va a 4 giorni lavorativi.

    La cosa che mi ha dato fastidio: non c’e un’app vera, si gioca dal browser. Va onestamente bene da smartphone, pero su alcune slot mi si e impallato e ho dovuto ricaricare. Il supporto che trovi su Crazy Time ti risponde in italiano ed e attiva h24, attese di 3-5 minuti, pero la prima risposta e un template. Lato licenza e indicata la MGA — per l’Italia va tenuto presente, ognuno si regola.

    Signed up at Rolletto since late spring, so I have a decent feel for how things work. A colleague mentioned it, since I wanted somewhere that combines casino and sports without fuss. The Rolletto lobby covers a lot of ground, although I rotate between a handful of favourites.

    Game supply is solid: Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Nolimit City and Hacksaw Gaming. The popular titles are all present, although the crash games are surprisingly fun too. Evolution powers the live section, so you get Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette and all the game shows. There is a full sports section alongside the casino, a nice extra for those who like to mix it up.

    The welcome package here spreads across several deposits: deposit bonuses that stack up to a decent total. Wagering is 40x on the bonus, which is on the higher side but not extreme. Updated bonus terms and any active promotions are listed over at rolletto promo codes since terms change regularly. Weekly cashback and tournament entries pop up regularly, which keeps things interesting after the first deposit.

    You can start from as little as ten euros. Traditional payment methods are accepted, though Bitcoin and the alt coins are where Rolletto shines: a dozen different coins. Payouts to the wallet arrived the same evening, bank transfers ran a few days longer. Document check took a single attempt — the whole thing was over in twenty-four hours.

    Mobile play is through the browser and load times are quick. No app to install, which suits me fine. Live chat replies within a few minutes and they are more helpful than most. Regulation is Curacao based, so factor that into your decision. The main thing is withdrawals have never been refused.

    I have been using Lottoland Casino since the start of summer, enough sessions to see how it actually works. Originally came for the lottery side, though the slots pulled me in too. The game library is surprisingly large, with both lottery products and a full casino lobby.

    Software comes from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Evolution and Nolimit City. Sweet Bonanza and Gonzo’s Quest sit in the popular section, though the selection is not as vast as a pure casino site. Where Lottoland genuinely stands out is the lottery betting: EuroMillions, PowerBall, MegaMillions and about forty others, with jackpots sometimes exceeding a billion. Scratchcards and quick games fill out the rest.

    The introductory bonus here is region specific: usually a free lottery line or discounted entry. The casino side gets its own promotions from time to time, though the lottery promos are more frequent. Current promotions and terms can be found at lottoland online since they rotate regularly. Playthrough on the casino side is in the standard range.

    Minimum deposit is low: a pound gets you into a draw, ten for the casino. Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Paysafecard all work. Cashouts via e-wallet took under twenty-four hours, bank transfers ran the usual few days. Verification was straightforward — ID check passed on the first attempt.

    The app is available on both iOS and Android, and the interface is clean. Results come through live in the app, and the slot section works well on the smaller screen. Support is available via live chat and email, wait times are short. Licensed by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner and UK Gambling Commission, which gives proper regulatory backing. A reliable option for lottery and light casino play.

    Signed up with this casino for roughly four months, enough time to see the patterns. Came across it while looking for a new UK casino, because my old one kept delaying withdrawals. The Revery Play lobby is solid without being overwhelming, with a good mix of slots, table games and live dealer.

    Software comes from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Nolimit City and Hacksaw Gaming. Book of Dead and Reactoonz are easy to find, though I spend more time on the newer releases. Evolution handles the live dealer area, so Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time, blackjack and baccarat. Tables are staffed day and night, although peak hours can be crowded.

    The sign-up offer here comes with a deposit match and a batch of free spins. Rollover is thirty-five times the bonus, fairly standard for this market. The latest promotions can be checked on reveryplay before depositing. There are weekly reload offers.

    The floor is ten pounds. Cards and PayPal go through smoothly. E-wallet cashouts came through same day, bank transfers ran a couple of days. Verification was the standard KYC — uploaded ID and it was approved overnight.

    I use the mobile site on my phone and it runs well. No app needed, which honestly suits me. Customer service is available around the clock and they read the question before answering. Regulation is Curacao based, meaning no UK Gambling Commission oversight. The main thing is withdrawals have been honoured.
