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.
A friend of mine advised me to review this site. And yes. it has some useful pieces of info and I enjoyed reading it.
With this issue, it’s important to have someone like you with something to say that really matters.
Regards for helping out, superb info.
Have you given any kind of thought at all with converting your current web-site into French? I know a couple of of translaters here that will would certainly help you do it for no cost if you want to get in touch with me personally.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article. https://accounts.binance.com/si-LK/register?ref=LBF8F65G
I appreciate your work, thanks for all the great blog posts.
A wholly agreeable point of view, I think primarily based on my own experience with this that your points are well made, and your analysis on target.
Thanks for a Interesting item; I enjoyed it very much. Regards Sang Magistrale
Ogrywam sie tam od jakichs pieciu miesiecy, no to cos tam juz wiem. Wpadlem tam przez znajomego z pracy, bo mialem dosc z sensownym wyborem gier. Wybor slotow robi wrazenie — jakies 3500 tytulow, przy czym polowy z tego nigdy nie odpale. Play’n GO, Pragmatic i Yggdrasil maja tam najwiecej swojego, sa oczywiscie Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead.
Na start w Fiery Play daja 100% do pierwszego depozytu do 1200 zl i do tego 100 free spinow, rozlozonych na kilka dni. Obrot to x40, co jest znosne, ale zerknijcie na limity — maksymalny zaklad przy obrocie jest sztywno ustawiony i mozna to przegapic. Widzialem tez bonus bez wplaty, chyba 25 spinow, bodajze na jakis czas. Biezace oferty widac na fiery casino zanim sie zarejestrujecie.
Cala rejestracja to doslownie chwila, minimalna wplata zaczyna sie od 40 zl. Zwykle ide karta, czasem Neteller, wyplaty robilem trzy razy — raz zeszlo pol dnia, raz czekalem prawie trzy dni, bo kazali doslac dowod. Kryptowaluty tez sa i podobno tam idzie najszybciej.
Wieczorami siedze glownie na zywo — Evolution robi tam stoly, czesc krupierow mowi po polsku, czego sie nie spodziewalem. Crazy Time leci non stop, chociaz to bardziej cyrk niz granie. Stoly blackjacka tez stoja otworem.
Nie ma osobnej aplikacji, ale strona na telefonie i dziala to plynnie, chociaz na LTE w tramwaju transmisja lubi sie ciac. Maja papiery z Curacao, co nie jest MGA, wiadomo — u mnie kasa zawsze przyszla. Czat na Fiery Play dziala po polsku zwykle w kilka minut. Najbardziej denerwuje mnie to spam promocyjny na maila — ale da sie to wylaczyc.
