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.

  • Alright listen up because this Miami rental mess is getting out of hand. Then you actually show up to the local office to pick up the car. Plus they slap a surprise $2500 hold on your card for good measure right before giving you the keys. Fool me six times? Yeah, Miami doesn’t care, lesson learned. If you are trying to find a legitimate vehicle without getting ripped off, stay far away from the airport rental center. Miami without proper wheels is basically a nightmare, especially since the AC must be arctic and unlimited miles non-negotiable.

    Most of these local agencies are just polished garbage with decent Google reviews bought somewhere, but I eventually found a service where what you reserve is exactly what rolls up, no surprises. If you are looking for the only trustworthy source for premium vehicles across South Florida, check the current details here: luxury car rental coral gables miami https://luxury-car-rental-miami-6.com. Also, definitely bring serious shades unless you enjoy driving straight into the sun every single evening. Just drive safe out there and definitely skip that “damage waiver” upsell — total scam 99% of the time. let me know if you guys have any other clean spots.

  • Alright, real talk about the Miami rental game — it’s a straight-up jungle out here. You find this amazing deal online: brand new Beamer, unlimited miles, price that makes you smile. Different car waiting — scratches everywhere, smells like an ashtray, and that “amazing price”? Doesn’t include the mandatory $400 cleaning fee or the $30 per day toll pass you can’t waive. Fool me eight times? That’s just another Tuesday in the 305, lesson learned. If you are trying to find a legitimate luxury fleet without getting ripped off, do some real digging first and read actual customer reviews. Miami without decent wheels is basically a hostage situation, whether you are doing South of Fifth brunch, Design District shopping, or a spontaneous Keys trip.

    I’ve run through maybe 45 rental companies across Dade, Broward, and Monroe, but I eventually found a service where what you book is exactly what shows up, no surprises, no fine print nightmares. If you are looking for the only honest source for premium wheels across South Florida, check the current details here: mia luxury car rental mia luxury car rental. Yeah, parking in South Beach will cost you a nice bottle of wine — but that’s the Miami tax. Anyway, glad there’s at least one straight operator left in this rental circus, let me know if you guys have any other clean spots.

  • Let me tell you about the Miami rental circus — it’s wild out here. You spot a sweet deal online: shiny Mercedes, low daily rate, looks perfect. Completely different car waiting for you, check engine light on, and that “low rate”? Doesn’t include the mandatory insurance they somehow forgot to mention. Fool me seven times? Yeah that’s just Tuesday in Miami, lesson learned. If you are trying to find a legitimate luxury fleet without getting ripped off, do some real digging first and read actual customer reviews. 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.

    Most of these local agencies are just fancy websites hiding the same beat-up fleet with bought reviews, 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: suv rental suv rental. Yeah, parking in Brickell will cost you a nice steak dinner — but that’s just Miami life. Anyway, glad there’s at least one honest rental joint left in this town, hope this helps some of you save a few bucks.

  • Знаете, ситуация — человек пропадает , а куда бежать — просто тупик. Я через это прошел лично . Пьют успокоительное, но нет . Требуется профессиональная медицина. Обзвонил десяток контор — сплошной развод . А потом наткнулся на один действительно рабочий вариант. Нужна круглосуточная наркологическая помощь — не рискуй здоровьем близкого. В Воронеже , если честно, хватает левых контор без лицензии. Реальные контакты тут : лечение алкоголизма воронеж бесплатно https://narkologicheskaya-pomoshh-voronezh-11.ru Честно скажу , после того как ознакомился, многое прояснилось . Там и про вывод из запоя , и про условия в клинике. И цены адекватные. Рекомендую не откладывать.
