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.
Na 888starz siedze chyba dobre kilka tygodni i w koncu postanowilem, ze napisze co i jak. Nie bede sciemnial — zapisalem sie glownie dla bonusu i zostalem na dluzej. Jako gracz z Polski ciezko o porzadnych miejscowek, wiec kazde takie od razu testuje na spokojnie.
Przede wszystkim siedze w slotach i jest w czym wybierac. Spokojnie ponad dwa tys. automatow, od Pragmatic Play przez NetEnt, Play’n GO oraz Yggdrasil. Klasyki typu Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead sa na wyciagniecie reki, choc szczerze zwykle wracam do paru swoich ulubiencow. Plynnosc dziala gladko na mobilce.
Dla tych co lubia live — obsluguje to Evolution, z prawdziwymi krupierami, do tego te cale game show typu Crazy Time. Potrafi wciagnac bardziej niz myslalem. Wplaty i wyplaty — robilem BLIK-a i crypto, mozna rowniez Mastercard. Pierwszy raz dostalem w niecale 24h, na e-wallecie sa najszybsze. Warto zerknac na swieze oferty zaraz na bonus casino 888starz przed rejestracja, bo sie zmieniaja.
Pakiet powitalny jest calkiem niezle — dostajesz do 1500 euro i do tego jakies 150 zakrecen. Obrot stoi na x40, co szczerze nie jest tragedia, choc jak zawsze trzeba przeczytac warunki. Minimalny depozyt jest niski, zapis trwala jakies dwie minuty. Appka istnieje i jest znosna, apk z ich stronki.
No i teraz lyzka dziegciu — obsluga potrafi odpisuje z opoznieniem, zwlaszcza pod obciazeniem. Weryfikacja konta delikatnie wkurzyla, ale to chyba kwestia regulacji tak musi byc. Tak po calosci — jestem raczej zadowolony, zdania w sieci sa rozne, wiec zobacz na spokojnie, na malych stawkach.

Ehrlich gesagt spiele ich mittlerweile seit ein paar Monaten hier fast taglich, und die Plattform hat mich tatsachlich positiv uberrascht. Reingerutscht bin ich, weil ein Kumpel aus Koln standig davon geschwarmt hat, und gerade in DE finde ich den Bitcoin-Ansatz ziemlich angenehm, weil vieles schnell funktioniert.
Das Spielangebot kann sich sehen lassen, ich schatze mal uber weit mehr als 2000 Slots und Tischspielen. Die gro?en Namen fehlen nicht – NetEnt und Sweet Bonanza und Gates of Olympus, au?erdem der Dauerbrenner Book of Dead von Play’n GO. Am liebsten hange ich oft an den Slots, allerdings manchmal lande ich im Live-Bereich, wo Evolution mit echten Croupiers am Start ist – Game-Shows wie Crazy Time kostet mich regelma?ig zu viel Zeit und Nerven.
Beim Neukunden-Angebot: geboten werden so um die 100% auf die erste Einzahlung plus rund 200 Free Spins, wobei meines Wissens sogar ein kleiner No-Deposit-Teil mitlauft. Nervig fand ich etwas gestort hat, ist der Umsatz von 35-fach – das ist machbar, jedoch kein Selbstlaufer. Die frischen Aktionen solltest du besser vorab bei bitcoin poker durchlesen, die andern sich namlich ofter.
Was Ein- und Auszahlungen betrifft klappt fur mich fast alles reibungslos. Neben Bitcoin und anderen Coins gehen auch die Karten plus Skrill und Neteller. Meine erste Auszahlung kam uber Krypto nach knapp 40 Minuten auf dem Konto, uber Karte braucht es erfahrungsgema? ein paar Tage. Die Mindesteinzahlung liegt im Rahmen, und das Registrieren dauerte keine funf Minuten erledigt.
Unterwegs am Smartphone lauft bei mir die Web-App, und eine richtige App ist kaum, lauft stabil auch bei schwacherem Netz. Beim Support reagierte als ich mal ein Problem hatte per Chat innerhalb von Minuten zur Stelle, allerdings spat abends geht’s langsamer ein bisschen. Lizenztechnisch lauft das unter Curacao, was fur DE-Spieler kein Drama bleibt, muss man selbst checken. Unterm Strich bei mir bleibe ich, solange die Auszahlungen so zuverlassig bleiben.

بصراحة أنا بلعب هنا من كام شهر وقلت أشارك تجربتي من غير مبالغة. أكتر نقطة لفتت نظري إن التطبيق خفيف على موبايلي القديم، والتنزيل تم من غير أي وجع دماغ. مش هقولكم إنه مثالي بس الشغل نضيف لحد دلوقتي.
من ناحية الكازينو الاختيار واسع فعلًا — حوالي 3000 لعبة من اللي شفته. بتلاقي أسماء معروفة زي Pragmatic Play و NetEnt و Play’n GO. أنا شخصيًا ألعب Gates of Olympus و Sweet Bonanza، وكمان في Book of Dead لما يجي مود المخاطرة. طاولات الأونلاين لايف من Evolution، والكروبيه حقيقيين وعروض زي Crazy Time لو بتحب الأجواء دي.
بالنسبة لبونص الترحيب الأفضل يشوف على العروض الحالية عند تطبيق 888starz قبل ما تسجّل. المكافأة الأولى كان معقول وبيوصل حوالي 500% زائد لفات مجانية، بس خدوا بالكم من شرط الرهان لإنه محتاج صبر وده اللي غلّطني في الأول.
بالنسبة للسحب والإيداع مناسبة للمصريين — Visa و Mastercard متاحين، وكمان Skrill و Neteller، وللي بيتعامل بالعملات الرقمية برضه متاح. بتبدأ بمبلغ بسيط، والسحب عندي جه في يوم تقريبًا للمحافظ الإلكترونية.
عمل أكونت سهل وسريع، والدعم الفني رد عليّ طول اليوم لما كان عندي سؤال. فيه رخصة Curacao وده بيطمّن شوية. لسه بلعب لحد دلوقتي بس النصيحة: خدوا 888starz apk من موقعهم مباشرة عشان تلاقوا كل حاجة شغالة.
