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.

Klikam tu od wiosny, wiec mam prawo cos napisac. Znalazlem to z polecenia kolegi, bo mialem dosc czekania po tydzien na kase gdzie indziej. Lobby w FieryPlay jest spore — gdzies kolo 2800 gier, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt z dorzuconym Yggdrasil oraz Betsoft.
Sam najwiecej klikam Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead, nic odkrywczego. Dobrze ze wersje demo sa dostepne od reki, sprawdzilem tak ze cztery nowe sloty zanim wplacilem cokolwiek. Wyszukiwarka za to kuleje — po dostawcy da sie filtrowac, ale po volatility juz nie.
Zywe stoly stoi na Evolution i to widac. Blackjack, ruletka, no i te teleturnieje typu Crazy Time — wieczorami potrafie tam zostac dluzej niz planowalem. Krupierzy realni, w wiekszosci anglojezyczni, na polski stol nie trafilem — dla czesci osob to minus.
Bonus powitalny w FieryPlay to 100% do 1500 zl plus spiny i 100 free spinow, wydawane po 20 dziennie. Warunek obrotu to x35 — ani rewelacja, ani dramat. Widzialem takze drobne no deposit spiny po potwierdzeniu telefonu, choc to akcja czasowa. Regulamin przeczytaj zanim klikniesz — oferta bywa inna niz tydzien wczesniej, aktualne rzeczy widac na fieryplay casino zanim zalozysz konto.
Rejestracja zajela mi dwie minuty, minimalna wplata 20 zl. Place karta, ale sa tez Skrill, Neteller i platnosci w BTC. Kasa wychodzi na e-portfel schodza w kilka godzin, przelew na karte wolniej. Weryfikacja przy pierwszej wyplacie — standard, poszlo gladko.
Na telefonie lece przez przegladarke, apki nie ma i chyba nie potrzeba. Obsluga w FieryPlay odpowiada po polsku dosc szybko, do dziesieciu minut, choc raz trafilem na kogos kto kopiowal gotowce z FAQ. Curacao, tak jak wiekszosc tego typu miejsc — nie MGA, wiec swiadomosc ryzyka po twojej stronie. Narzedzia do samokontroli sa, sprawdzalem.
