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.

    Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at odds to implied probability — free, no signup.

    What really shifted things for me were the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.

    Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

  • Ya llevo unos cuantos meses con 888starz y para que mentir tenia dudas al principio, porque aqui en Espana uno se cansa de paginas que venden humo. El registro no me llevo ni tres minutos, correo, contrasena y listo, y el deposito minimo ronda los 1-2 euros, asi puedes tantear sin jugarte el sueldo.

    De slots van sobrados — andan por mas de 7.000 titulos entre Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Betsoft y Yggdrasil. Yo me quedo en Gates of Olympus y Sweet Bonanza, aunque de vez en cuando pruebo los Megaways. Lo que si el filtro por proveedor a veces se atasca cuando el catalogo es tan bestia.

    La zona en vivo corre a cargo de Evolution y ahi no hay queja: blackjack con gente real, Crazy Time que enganchan una barbaridad. La oferta de entrada es de un 130% con 150 tiradas, hay que apostarlo unas 35 veces, que no es regalado pero tampoco un robo. Suele haber algun free spin sin deposito, puedes mirar lo que hay vigente en casino 888starz antes de meter dinero.

    Las retiradas me ha ido mejor de lo que pensaba. Retire el otro dia via e-wallet y me llego en menos de una hora. Con Visa hay que esperar unos dias, nada nuevo. Van con Neteller, cripto si no te asusta el tema.

    El movil funciona bien, tienen app para Android pero yo uso el navegador y me sobra. El chat de ayuda responde en espanol, me atendieron rapido la vez que tuve un lio con la verificacion. Operan con licencia de Curazao, no esta regulado por la DGOJ espanola y hay que saberlo antes de entrar. Yo sigo ahi, con sus cosas, y sin volverse loco con los bonos.
