The IMB NVOCC Register
Reducing bills of lading risks
While there may be valid trading reasons that give rise to bill of lading difficulties, there is an unhealthy under-belly of criminal activity.
TT Talk canvassed some trading issues relating to bills of lading in the December 2018 edition. Reference within those articles was made to the English law position articulated in Motis Exports case1, explaining the risk exposure to bill of lading issuers and stakeholders relying on the documentation. This article applies to the industry vulnerability to fraudulent activity.
Banking scrutiny
The International Chamber of Commerce’s Commercial Crime Services division has a primary function of protect the integrity of international trade by seeking out fraud and malpractice and providing reports based on this activitiy to its members.
Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli.
Commercial banks commence thousands of investigations each year in relation to fraudulent bills of lading which are undertaken by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), a division of CCS. Through the investigation process, IMB conducts due diligence on all trade documents, including bills of lading, and seeks independent third-party verification to provide an extra level of confidence in transactions. This supports banks in relation to their compliance procedures to prevent fraud, money laundering and sanctions breaches.
Suspect bills of lading are those which have false content including the wrong ship, dates, description of cargoes, container numbers or parties. Perpetrators present such bills of lading to banks to facilitate fraudulent activity including money laundering, fraud, illegal capital flight and to by-pass sanctions.
It is recognised that NVOCCs and freight forwarders play a vital role in international trade and whilst the majority operate to extremely high standards, there are inevitably those who for a variety of reasons may deliberately or recklessly issue bills of lading with false content. It is important that safeguards are in place to ensure the security of bills of lading and that there are systems in place to track any misuse.
As a result of recent trends involving bill of lading fraud and a growing concern of their stakeholders, the IMB developed a new initiative, unveiled at Enterprise, Singapore on 15 January 2019, during a panel discussion on the manipulation of bills of lading attended by over 100 delegates from banks, logistics companies and lawyers. The primary objective is to provide a common open platform from which to improve anti-fraud standards and to give due recognition to participating NVOCCs who adhere to the minimum standards established within the platform.
NVOCC vulnerability
"IMB estimates that over 95% of all improperly issued bills of lading are issued by NVOCCs."
From this work, IMB estimates that over 95% of all improperly issued bills of lading are issued by NVOCCs. This is a staggering finding, albeit relating to a small percentage of the total transactions, but a clear indicator of the vulnerability of some elements of the NVOCC sector.
Announcing IMB NVOCC register
“Maintaining the integrity of the bill of lading is of paramount importance to all stakeholders in global trade”
TT Club believes that this initiative to improve standards and reduce potential exposures to fraudulent activity through the supply chain is beneficial to the industry and would therefore encourage its NVOCC membership to evaluate the platform and consider participation in it.
We gratefully acknowledge the assistance in the preparation of this article of Pottengal Mukundan, Director, International Maritime Bureau, ICC-Commercial Crime Services
The initiative introduces an open source NVOCC register in conjunction with a new IMB Code of Conduct which all participating NVOCCs are required to adopt. The Code of Conduct is supported by an online training course which sets out minimum standards for the issuance of NVOCC bills of lading. Participating NVOCCs remain accountable where a document they have issued is found to be fraudulent, however it is anticipated that a wider knowledge of good practice will result in fewer cases of fraud being identified.
Maintaining the integrity of the bill of lading is of paramount importance to all stakeholders in global trade. Where fraudulent activity is allowed to continue, there is a real danger that key stakeholders de-value the worth of the bill of lading. Inevitably, should the industry not be able to address commercially the challenge presented by the use of fraudulent documents, there is a risk that regulations may be required. This initiative recognises and seeks to address this industry wide challenge, seeking to promote awareness and support compliance with acceptable trade practices.

Aloitin pelaamisen Lottolandissa joku aika sitten ja rehellisesti sanottuna alkuun oli skeptinen mutta ihan hyvin lahti kayntiin. Rekisteroityminen oli nopee, perus jutut ja paasi pelaamaan. Minimitalletuksen sai tehtya 10 eurolla Skrillin kautta ja rahat naky heti tililla. Se on semmonen asia minka huomaa heti — jos talletus tokkii niin en jaksa.
Pelivalikoimasta taytyy sanoo et kylla loytyy kamaa. Lottoland vetaa sisaan peleja tunnetuilta providereilta kuten Play’n GO ja Evolution, joten tutut nimikkeet on paikalla. Ite pyorittelin Gates of Olympusta paaasiassa ja voittoki tuli pari kertaa. Slotteja on varmaan satoja ja sit on poytapeleja tietenkin. Tosin yks juttu — pelien etsinta on vahan kompelo, joutuu valilla selaamaan.
Live casinosta loytyy Evolutionin livepoytia ja kokeilin Lightning Roulettea viikonloppuna. Pyorii ihan sulavasti puhelimella, ja se on mulle tarkeeta. Bonuksista sen verran — ma sain matchbonuksen plus freespinneja. Kierratysvaatimus oli about 35-kertainen ja se on standardi. Kannattaa lukee ehdot aina ennen ku ottaa bonuksen.
Kotiutukset Lottolandilta on menny mulle suht nopeesti. Netellerin kautta meni pari tuntia ja korttimaksu kesti vahan pidempaan. Ihan perus mut ok. Loydat nykyiset tarjoukset suoraan lottoland casino niin naat ite. Asiakaspalvelu toimii chatin kautta ja mulle vastattiin parissa minuutissa bonusasiassa.
Puhelimella onnistuu suoraan selaimessa ilman appin asennusta. Saitti latautuu hyvin ja pelit pyorii ihan hyvin. Lisenssi on kunnossa eli silta osin ok. Toinen pieni miinus on navigointi vois olla selkeempi, mut kylla silla parjaa. Kyl ma pelaan varmaan jatkossaki siella kunnes joku parempi tulee vastaan.
Ho scoperto Crazy Time qualche settimana fa tramite un amico e devo dire che mi ha fatto una buona impressione. All’inizio ero scettico visto che di piattaforme ce ne sono a pacchi, ma hanno veramente tanta roba. Ci trovi titoli di Pragmatic Play come Sweet Bonanza e Gates of Olympus, poi parecchie slot di NetEnt e roba Play’n GO tipo Book of Dead. Ci saranno oltre duemila giochi in tutto, quindi non ti annoi di certo.
La parte live e quella che mi ha preso di piu. I tavoli sono gestiti da Evolution, con croupier veri e si vede che e roba professionale. Ho passato ore su il game show crazytime ed e una droga. Blackjack, baccarat e roulette non mancano, ma i game show sono un altro livello. L’unica cosa che mi ha dato fastidio e che ogni tanto ci mette un attimo a caricare, niente di tragico pero.
Quando ti registri su Crazy Time offrono il 100% sul primo deposito fino a 500 euro piu 50 free spin sulla slot del momento. Devi rigirarlo 35 volte, che non e il piu basso. C’e chi offre meno, pero almeno i termini sono chiari. Per iniziare bastano venti euro. Se vi interessa date un occhio a le offerte attuali passando da crazytime per vedere cosa c’e.
I pagamenti non ho avuto problemi. Puoi usare Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller e anche Bitcoin. Ho prelevato tramite Neteller ed e arrivato il giorno dopo. Non male. Da mobile Crazy Time funziona bene anche senza app dedicata, il sito e responsive e non ho avuto crash. Nessun bonus no deposit purtroppo, sarebbe stato un bel plus.
Il supporto fa il suo lavoro. Ho scritto in chat per un problema col bonus e ci hanno messo una decina di minuti. Parlano italiano il che aiuta. Hanno licenza di Curacao, non e il top come garanzia, ma i pagamenti arrivano e tanto basta. Per chi gioca dall’Italia non ho lamentele serie.
Mi sono imbattuto in Crazy Time tipo due mesi fa tramite un post su un forum e devo dire che non me l’aspettavo. Non ci credevo molto, sai come funziona con queste cose, ma dopo averci giocato un po’ mi sono ricreduto. La registrazione e stata veloce, neanche dieci minuti e avevo l’account pronto. Il deposito minimo non e alto, mi pare una decina di euro, quindi niente di assurdo per testare senza rischiare troppo.
La libreria non e male per niente. Hanno slot di Pragmatic Play come Gates of Olympus che e una bomba, e anche titoli di NetEnt e qualcosa di Play’n GO tipo Book of Dead. In totale parliamo di un migliaio di slot se conti tutto. La sezione live e gestita da Evolution con croupier veri — lo show Crazy Time con la ruota mi prende parecchio, quando becca il bonus giusto esplode tutto. Ci perdo troppo tempo onestamente.
Il bonus di benvenuto su Crazy Time era del 100% fino a 500€ con in aggiunta cinquanta free spin su Sweet Bonanza. Il wagering sta a 35x, potrebbe essere piu basso ma e gestibile per il settore. Ho notato bonus no deposit di tanto in tanto per chi gioca gia, il che e un bel tocco. Vi consiglio di dare un’occhiata alle offerte attuali su Crazy Time se vi interessa.
Lato pagamenti accettano Visa e Mastercard, Skrill e Neteller, e pure crypto se preferite. Le mie withdrawal mi sono arrivati in circa 24 ore sull’e-wallet, che e decente. Mi piace anche e la crazy time app — l’ho scaricata sullo smartphone e funziona bene. Non dovete cercare l’apk su siti esterni dato che direttamente dal sito si trova subito. Sul cellulare ci gioco anche in pausa pranzo.
L’assistenza di Crazy Time risponde via live chat h24 e anche in italiano, il che per me conta parecchio. Il difetto se devo trovarne uno: la verifica documenti ha richiesto quasi 72 ore, piu del previsto. Pero una volta fatto zero problemi. Sono regolati da Curacao, non e AAMS ma e comunque qualcosa. Ci gioco volentieri e non ho motivo di cambiare.
Been playing at Rolletto for like a couple of months and wanted to share my thoughts. Came across it from a Reddit thread after I got fed up with my usual spots. Signed up took maybe two minutes, nothing weird asked, and I deposited twenty quid to test it — min deposit is ?20 which is fair enough.
Their sign-up offer caught my eye — it was 100% up to five hundred euros and 200 free spins. The rollover sits at x35 and that could be worse honestly I’ve seen. Spins landed on Big Bass Bonanza from what I recall. Not gonna lie, I didn’t win much from the spins but that bonus cash stretched things out nicely.
The lobby on Rolletto is genuinely pretty stacked. They’ve got titles by Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Evolution handles the live stuff. My go-to slots have been Gates of Olympus and some BTG Megaways like Bonanza. Probably over 3000 games across the whole site. The live section is decent — blackjack and roulette, plus I’ve wasted hours on Crazy Time which is way too addictive. All Evolution-run, picture quality is really clean.
Withdrawals are the bit I was most worried about and so far can’t moan. I’ve used Skrill mostly and funds hit in about 24 hours. There’s also crypto like BTC and various e-wallets which is handy. You can check out the current promotions on Rolletto before you sign up. One gripe though — they took ages to process and was frustrating.
Using it on mobile, Rolletto works well through Safari — they don’t have an app but the mobile site is smooth. Everything loads responsive and I’ve played lying in bed and it ran smooth. Customer service is available round the clock via chat and I got an answer in under a minute when I had a bonus question. It’s operating under a Curacao licence — worth noting it’s not UK-regulated and make of that what you will.
Overall, it’s not perfect — KYC speed and the layout feels slightly busy. But there’s loads to play, I’ve had no payout dramas, and the matched deposit gave me a decent run. Not for everyone maybe but I’m keeping Rolletto for now.
