Misuse of NVOCC Bills of Lading brings

New Certificate to raise Industry Awareness

The ICC Academy — the educational arm of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) — in partnership with the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), has developed a specialised certificate for Non-Vessel Owning Common Carriers (NVOCC) Bills of Lading (B/L). Launched today in Singapore at a high-level event, hosted at Enterprise Singapore, the programme aims to raise standards and reliability of maritime trade for active NVOCCs and their trading partners operating in the global market.

ICC Academy General Manager Daniel Kok said:

“Bills of lading are one of the most vital documents associated with trade, making it essential that NVOCCs have the right understanding of their role. Our goal with this certificate is to provide the right knowledge and expertise that will help boost industry standards along the trading transaction chain.”

IMB estimates that over 95{35784a3acc53c3fb97930ebb57e7c2f91cc4408c54cb9242c52169e2b6c96453} of issued B/L by NVOCC are incorrect. In today’s complex international environment, it is crucial that documents are not only delivered properly but also comply with the IMB’s Code of Conduct.

The launch event included a half-day ceremony that featured a demonstration of the certificate programme and a roundtable discussion on IMB’s NVOCC Register, which works to improve anti-fraud standards. The panel was moderated by IMB Director Pottengal Mukundan. Panelists included Steven Tan Kok Boon, Executive Director of the United Overseas Bank; Ramaprasad Perumbala, Director, Trade Finance Operations of Deutsche Bank; Baldev Bhinder, a Partner at Joseph Tan Jude Benny Law Firm; Aarthi Fernandez, Head of Global Trade at Standard Chartered Bank; and Michael Howlett, IMB Deputy Director.

Mr Mukundan — who is also the author of the certificate curriculum — said:
A bill of lading is one of the most critical elements of an international trade transaction. When the content of a bill of lading is manipulated, the risks of fraud, malpractice or money laundering increases significantly for the stakeholders relying upon it — these include banks, shipping companies and counterparty traders. It is therefore important that NVOCCs understand the key role played by the bill of lading that they issue and the need for them to accurately represent the physical shipment.

The e-course covers everything from the basics of trade logistics and recognising the process of B/L issuance to the reliance of stakeholders on correct B/L and how the document can be misused along with its consequences. Designed for NVOCCs operating in global markets — as well as related stakeholders in banks, actual carriers, cargo owners and other general traders — the interactive programme offers case studies, structured lessons, self-assessments, models, videos and a virtual coach.

Потратил уйму свободного времени на чтение строительных форумов. В общем, единственное, что реально работает в наших реалиях — это доверить подготовку документов профессиональным инженерам, чтобы потом не было проблем со штрафами.

  • Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.

  • Let me tell you about the Miami rental circus — it’s wild out here. Then you actually go to the local office to pick it up. Plus a surprise $2000 hold on your card and a $35 per day GPS you never asked for right before giving you the keys. Seven years in South Florida and I still almost fall for these tricks. If you are trying to find a legitimate luxury fleet without getting ripped off, avoid the airport like the plague. Anyone who’s taken the Metro here knows the struggle about this city, especially since the AC must freeze your face off and unlimited miles or forget it.

    I’ve tried maybe 40 rental companies across Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, until I finally found one outfit that actually delivers what’s promised. If you are looking for the only straight shooter for premium rides across South Florida, check the current details here: exotic cars in miami rental exotic cars in miami rental. Yeah, parking in Brickell will cost you a nice steak dinner — but that’s just Miami life. Just drive safe out there and definitely pass on that “tire protection” upsell — total garbage. hope this helps some of you save a few bucks.

  • Случается, когда уже не до раздумий — близкий ломается, а куда бежать — просто руки опускаются. Я сам через это прошел недавно. Думаешь, сам справится, но нет . Нужна реальная помощь . Обзвонил десяток контор — сплошной развод . Пока не нашел один нормальный вариант. Нужна срочно круглосуточная наркологическая служба — не рискуй здоровьем близкого. В Воронеже , если честно, хватает левых контор без лицензии. Реальные контакты тут : наркологическая служба наркологическая служба Честно скажу , после того как прочитал , многое прояснилось . Там и про вывод из запоя , и про реабилитацию . И цены адекватные. Рекомендую не тянуть .
