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.

  • Siedze na tym od jakichs trzech miesiecy, mysle ze mam prawo wrzucic pare slow. Trafilem tam przez znajomego z pracy, bez wiekszych oczekiwan. Pierwsze co rzuca sie w oczy to rozmiar biblioteki — cos kolo 7 tysiecy tytulow, liczba robi wrazenie, ale realnie i tak wracasz do tych samych pieciu.

    U mnie to Gates of Olympus plus Sweet Bonanza, czyli Pragmatic Play. Siedzi tam sporo od Yggdrasil oraz Betsoft, wiec dostawcy sa ci znani, nie zadne krzaki. Aviator i te crashe tez maja, mnie to nigdy nie przekonalem. W dziale live to Evolution robi robote — Crazy Time po angielsku, stolow po polsku jakos nie uswiadczylem, co dla czesci osob bedzie minusem.

    Pakiet powitalny jest w okolicach 100% pierwszego depozytu i do tego okolo 150 spinow, dawkowane po kolei. Warunek obrotu wynosi x40, wiec trzeba sie napocic — ja pierwszy raz nie doczytalem i przepadlo. Bywa tez cos bez depozytu za sama rejestracje, choc to akcje czasowe — swieze kody promocyjne widac na 888starz mirror zanim wplacisz.

    Kasa — tu akurat nie narzekam. Karta wplata leci w sekunde, minimum to okolo 20 zl. Wyciagalem na e-portfel i schodzilo jakies dwie godziny, karta to juz inna bajka, dwa dni. Weryfikacja jednak byla upierdliwa — selfie odrzucili raz, obsluga odpisuje szybko, ale gadasz troche z automatem.

    Apka na Androida dziala calkiem znosnie, tylko ze nie ma jej w Google Play, co dla wielu jest czerwona lampka. Na iPhonie jest, ale przez TestFlight. Licencja to Curacao, zatem 888starz nie ma polskiego zezwolenia i o podatkach trzeba rozwazyc samodzielnie. Komus to przeszkadza, komus nie — mowie jak jest. Gram dalej, ale malymi stawkami, bez fajerwerkow.

  • Assalomu alaykum, yarim yildan beri shu yerda o’ynayman, shuning uchun tajribamni yozib qo’yay dedim. Rostini aytsam, boshida unchalik ishonmagandim — oldin ikkita konторada pul yechishda muammo bo’lgan. Bu yerda esa hozircha meni jiddiy ovoraga qo’ymadi.

    Slotlar soni chindan ham ko’pchilikni hayratda qoldiradi — men sanamadim, lekin taxminan 6000 dan oshadi. Ko’proq Pragmatic Playning mashhur o’yinlarini bosaman: Sweet Bonanza bilan Gates of Olympus. Play’n GOdan Book of Dead klassikasi ham turibdi, NetEntning eskirmagan ishlari ham uchraydi. Bir narsa g’ashimga tegadi — qidiruv filtri ozgina chala, kerakli o’yinni topguncha ancha aylanasan.

    Jonli dilerlar bo’limi menga ko’proq yoqadi. Evolution Gamingning jonli stollari bor, haqiqiy krupyelar ishtirokida blackjack, ruletka, Crazy Time kabi shou-o’yinlar esa kechalari juda gavjum. Aloqam Toshkentda barqaror, shuning uchun uzilish sezmadim, ammo 4G da goh-goh sifat pasayadi. Yangi ro’yxatdan o’tganlarga birinchi depozitga 100% bonus va 200 ta bepul aylanish beriladi, otыgrыsh sharti 35x atrofida — rostini aytsam bu oson emas, shuning uchun men ko’pincha bonussiz o’ynayman. Depozitsiz promo vaqti-vaqti bilan bo’ladi, aktual shartlarni 888starz uz da ko’rib olsangiz bo’ladi.

    Ro’yxatdan o’tish bir daqiqada tugadi, eng kam to’ldirish kichkina — o’zim bir necha dollarlik summa bilan boshlagandim. Pul kiritish-chiqarishda Visa va Mastercard, e-hamyonlar va Bitcoin va boshqa kripto ishlaydi. USDT bilan yechish mening holimda 20-30 daqiqa davom etdi, kartaga esa bir sutkacha kutishga to’g’ri keldi. Verifikatsiya so’ralgan edi, albatta — pasport surati yubordim, ertasiga tasdiqlashdi.

    Smartfonda o’ynash yomon emas, Android uchun apk saytdan yuklanadi, brauzer versiyasi ham yomon emas. Qo’llab-quvvatlash chatda rus tilida tez javob beradi, o’zbek tilida bo’lsa har safar chiqmadi — mana shu tomoni ozgina cho’ktiradi. Ruxsatnomasi Curacao, demak bizda rasmiy tartibga solinmagan — buni bilib turing. Men oyiga qancha o’ynashimni oldindan belgilab olaman va undan chiqmaslikka harakat qilaman.

  • Siedze na tym od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec chyba moge sobie pozwolic sie wypowiedziec. Zapisalem sie przypadkiem, przez reklame na Telegramie, bez wiekszych oczekiwan. Od razu widac ze rozmiar biblioteki — cos kolo 7 tysiecy tytulow, liczba robi wrazenie, choc umowmy sie i tak wracasz do tych samych pieciu.

    Nic odkrywczego: Book of Dead i Big Bass, czyli Pragmatic Play. Jest tez Play’n GO oraz Betsoft, wiec dostawcy to nie jakies podrobki. Aviator i te crashe sa, mnie to nie przekonalem. Live obsluguje Evolution — Lightning Roulette jest po angielsku, stolow po polsku nie widzialem, to akurat szkoda.

    Powitalny to 100% do okolo 1500 zl plus okolo 150 spinow, dawkowane po kolei. Warunek obrotu wynosi x40, standardowo, czyli nie ma cudow — ja pierwszy raz nie doczytalem i przepadlo. Widzialem tez cos bez depozytu po weryfikacji, choc to zmienia sie co chwile — swieze kody promocyjne sprawdzisz na 888starz bonus bez depozytu 2026 przed rejestracja.

    Kasa — tu akurat nie narzekam. Blikiem przelew wchodzi od reki, prog wejscia to niecale 30 zl. Zlecalem wyplate na Skrilla i szlo do godziny, karta potrafi trzymac dobe-dwie. Weryfikacja to jednak trwala cztery dni — dowod wrzucalem dwa razy, pomoc na live chacie reaguje w pare minut, ale gadasz troche z automatem.

    Aplikacja mobilna dziala calkiem znosnie, jedyne ze nie ma jej w Google Play, co dla wielu jest czerwona lampka. Pod iOS jest, ale przez TestFlight. Licencja Curacao, nie polska, wiec 888starz dziala u nas w szarej strefie i o podatkach kazdy musi ogarnac na wlasna reke. Wiem, ze dla wielu to killer — ja tylko pisze jak jest. Na razie zostaje, choc bez zachwytu.

  • Gram tu jakies czterech miesiecy, wiec chyba mam prawo cos napisac. Zapisalem sie przez znajomego z pracy, bez wiekszych oczekiwan. To co uderza na starcie to ilosc slotow — cos kolo 6 tysiecy tytulow, co brzmi absurdalnie, choc umowmy sie krecisz w kolko to samo.

    U mnie to Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza, no i to samo co wszedzie. Siedzi tam sporo od Yggdrasil oraz Betsoft, wiec dostawcy sa ci znani, nie zadne krzaki. Crash gry typu Aviator sa, mnie to jakos nie kreci. Na zywo obsluguje Evolution — Lightning Roulette z angielskim krupierem, krupierow po polsku jakos nie uswiadczylem, to akurat szkoda.

    Pakiet powitalny wynosi 100% do jakichs 1500 zl z dorzuconymi 150 darmowych spinow, rozbite na kilka wplat. Wager wynosi x40, czyli trzeba sie napocic — ja pierwszy raz nie doczytalem i przepadlo. Widzialem tez drobny no deposit po weryfikacji, choc to zmienia sie co chwile — aktualne kody sprawdzisz na https://888starz-casino15.pl/no-deposit-bonus jesli ci zalezy.

    Z wyplatami dzialaja przyzwoicie. Karta wplata jest natychmiast, minimalny depozyt niecale 30 zl. Zlecalem wyplate na Skrilla — schodzilo jakies dwie godziny, przelew na karte to juz inna bajka, dwa dni. Sprawdzanie dokumentow niestety mnie zmeczyla — selfie odrzucili raz, pomoc na live chacie reaguje w pare minut, ale gadasz troche z automatem.

    Apka na Androida jest i jest lzejsza od strony, jedyne ze instalujesz apk recznie, co dla wielu jest czerwona lampka. Na iOS jest, ale przez TestFlight. Papiery Curacao, nie polska, zatem to nie jest licencjonowany operator w PL i kwestie podatku trzeba pomyslec sam. Dla czesci to dyskwalifikuje — pisze co widze. Ogolnie siedze dalej, choc bez zachwytu.

  • Gram tu od jakichs czterech miesiecy i prawde mowiac zostalem przez to, jak schodza wyplaty. Przedtem mialem konta w dwoch innych miejscach, gdzie kasa potrafila wisiec po tydzien. Tutaj pierwsza wyplata poszedl w niecale 6 godzin na Skrilla, drugi w podobnym czasie.

    Gier jest sporo — w okolicach 2800 pozycji, w wiekszosci Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO. Osobiscie gram w Gates of Olympus, czasem Sweet Bonanza, chociaz wpadlem ostatnio na tytuly od Big Time Gaming. Sekcja live to Evolution — jest kilka stolow PL, ale nie zawsze otwarte, na Crazy Time zawsze ktos siedzi.

    Start to jakies 100% do 2000 zl ze spinami, obrot x35 — normalka jak wszedzie. Darmowki dostajesz w ratach przez 5 dni, co mi sie srednio podoba. Jakis no deposit tez sie trafil, ale to symboliczne 25 zl. Porownywalem sobie warunki z zestawieniem na wyplacalne kasyna zanim wplacilem — duzo mi to dalo.

    Rejestracja to doslownie 2 minuty, minimalny depozyt 40 zl. Jest BLIK, karty, portfele, no i Bitcoin dla chetnych. Tu akurat plus jak na nasz rynek.

    Czepiam sie? Czat w nocy odpowiada wolno, zanim zlapiesz czlowieka, gadasz z botem. KYC trwala jeden dzien — ok, ale uprzedzam, bo trzeba to zrobic przed pierwsza wyplata. Licencja z Curacao, co nie jest MGA, ale u nas to norma. Apka nie ma, ale strona z telefonu chodzi normalnie.

  • Salom, taxminan olti oydan beri shu yerda vaqt o’tkazaman, shu bois tajribamni yozib qo’yay dedim. Ochig’i, avvaliga unchalik ishongan emasman — oldin ikkita platformada yechib olishda nerv buzilgandi. Bu yerda esa ayni damda meni jiddiy asabga tegmadi.

    Slotlar soni rostdan ham ko’p — men sanamadim, lekin kamida 6000 dan oshadi. Asosan Pragmatic Playning tanish o’yinlarini bosaman: Gates of Olympus va Sweet Bonanza. Play’n GOdan Book of Dead ham bor, NetEntning eskirmagan ishlari ham uchraydi. Yagona narsa bezovta qiladi — provayder bo’yicha saralash ozgina qo’pol ishlaydi, izlagan slotni topmaguncha ancha varaqlaysan.

    Live-kazino menga ko’proq yoqadi. Evolutionning jonli stollari ishlaydi, haqiqiy krupyelar ishtirokida blackjack, ruletka, Crazy Time ham oqshomlari to’lib ketadi. Internetim shahar sharoitida barqaror, shuning uchun uzilish bo’lmadi, ammo mobil internetda goh-goh sifat pasayadi. Yangi kelganlar uchun birinchi depozitga 100 foizli bonus hamda 150 ta bepul aylanish beriladi, otыgrыsh sharti 40x ga teng — rostini aytsam bu yengil shart emas, shuning uchun men ko’pincha bonussiz o’ynayman. Depozitsiz promo ham chiqib turadi, hozirgi kodlarni 888starz uz orqali tekshirib ko’ring.

    Registratsiya bir daqiqada bo’ldi, minimal depozit kichkina — o’zim bir necha dollarlik summa bilan sinab ko’rgandim. Pul kiritish-chiqarishda Visa va Mastercard, e-hamyonlar va kripto ishlaydi. USDT bilan pul olish menda yarim soat davom etdi, kartaga esa 24 soatgacha kutdim. Hujjat tekshiruvi so’ralgan edi — ID surati yubordim, ertasiga tasdiqlashdi.

    Smartfonda ishlash normal, Android uchun apk to’g’ridan-to’g’ri yuklab olinadi, brauzer versiyasi ham yomon emas. Qo’llab-quvvatlash chatda ruschada 10 daqiqada javob berdi, o’zbek tilida bo’lsa har doim topilmaydi — mana shu tomoni ozgina cho’ktiradi. Litsenziyasi Curacao, demak bizda rasmiy tartibga solinmagan — buni yodda tuting. O’zim oyiga budjet belgilab qo’yaman va undan chiqmaslikka harakat qilaman.

  • Salom, to’rt-besh oydan buyon shu yerda vaqt o’tkazaman, shu sababli bir-ikki og’iz yozay dedim. To’g’risini aytganda, dastlab unchalik ishonmagandim — oldin ikkita platformada yechib olishda nerv buzilgandi. 888starz shu paytgacha meni jiddiy boshog’riq qilmadi.

    O’yinlar soni rostdan ham ko’pchilikni hayratda qoldiradi — men sanamadim, lekin taxminan 5000 ga yaqin. Ko’pincha Pragmaticning tanish o’yinlarini bosaman: Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza. Play’n GOdan Book of Dead klassikasi ham bor, Betsoftning yaxshi slotlari ham yetarli. Faqat bitta narsa g’ashimga tegadi — qidiruv filtri anchagina qo’pol ishlaydi, izlagan slotni topmaguncha ancha varaqlaysan.

    Live-kazino alohida gap. Evolution Gamingning stollari ishlaydi, haqiqiy krupyelar bilan ruletka va blackjack, Crazy Time esa kechqurunlari juda gavjum. Aloqam shahar sharoitida barqaror, shuning uchun lag sezmadim, ammo 4G da ba’zan sifat pasayadi. Yangi kelganlar uchun birinchi to’ldirishga 100% bonus hamda 150 bepul spin beriladi, aylantirish sharti 40x ga teng — rostini aytsam osonlikcha yopilmaydi, shuning uchun men ko’pincha bonussiz o’ynayman. Depozitsiz aksiyalar ham chiqib turadi, hozirgi kodlarni https://software.brandsmaking.com dan qarab qo’ying.

    Ro’yxatdan o’tish ikki daqiqada bo’ldi, minimal depozit kichkina — o’zim 10 000 so’m chamasida boshlagandim. To’lovlarda karta, Skrill, Neteller hamda kripto bor. Kripto orqali pul olish mening holimda bir soatgacha oldi, karta bilan esa 24 soatgacha kutdim. Verifikatsiya talab qilingan edi — pasport surati yubordim, ertasiga tasdiqlashdi.

    Mobil ilovada o’ynash qulay, Android-ga apk to’g’ridan-to’g’ri yuklab olinadi, sayt versiyasi ham yaxshi ishlaydi. Qo’llab-quvvatlash onlayn chatda rus tilida 10 daqiqada javob berdi, o’zbekcha esa har safar chiqmadi — aynan shu joyi ozgina yoqmadi. Litsenziyasi Kyurasao, demak O’zbekistonda rasmiy tartibga solinmagan — shuni hisobga oling. O’zim har oy budjet belgilab qo’yaman va undan chiqmaslikka harakat qilaman.
