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.

    Zagladam tu regularnie od trzech miesiecy z hakiem, wiec mam jakies zdanie. Wpadlem na to przypadkiem, ktos wrzucil link na innym forum, nie liczac na cuda. Lobby w Vox Casino liczy grubo ponad dwa tysiace tytulow — Pragmatic, NetEnt, Play’n GO plus troche Betsoftu to podstawa, wiec na Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead trafisz od razu.

    Glownie zostaje w dziale z krupierami. Evolution obsluguje wiekszosc stolow, wiec ruletka, blackjack i Crazy Time chodza plynnie. Na Crazy Time potrafie posiedziec za dlugo, ale to bardziej show niz rozsadna gra. Czego brakuje, to stolow po polsku, wiec angielski sie przydaje.

    Oferta na start w Vox Casino wyglada na 100% do 1500 zl i dwiescie spinow, a spiny leca partiami przez piec dni, nie wszystkie naraz. Warunek obrotu x40 — do przerobienia, jesli grasz spokojnie. Wejsc mozna od 40 zl, formularz to trzy pola i mail potwierdzajacy. Po swieze kody bonusowe zagladam przez vox casino kod promocyjny 2026, zanim wplace cokolwiek. Jak zapomnisz kodu, to bonusu nie dolicza wstecz — sprawdzilem na wlasnej skorze.

    Wyplaty schodzi u nich calkiem sprawnie. E-portfele przychodza tego samego dnia, na Mastercard czekalem dwa dni. Crypto tez jest, BTC i kilka innych, to chyba najszybszy kanal. Proces weryfikacji w Vox Casino poszedl bez wiekszych problemow, choc nie od razu — chcieli dowod i potwierdzenie adresu, ale to kazdy licencjonowany operator robi.

    Minus, o ktorym warto wiedziec — apki mobilnej nadal nie zrobili. Na telefonie wszystko sie skaluje poprawnie, ale szukanie konkretnego slota na malym ekranie to meka. Support Vox Casino gada po polsku, co doceniam, odzew w kilka minut, choc raz o trzeciej w nocy trafilem chyba na bota. Grac tam da sie spokojnie, byle z glowa i limitem na koncie.

    Obstawiam na Mostbecie jakies pol roku, glownie sloty, sporadycznie cos z live. Wpadlem tam z polecenia kolegi, bez wiekszych oczekiwan. Katalog jest naprawde duzy — gdzies ponad 3 tys. tytulow, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt i Play’n GO, Betsoft. Sweet Bonanza mam w ulubionych, ale ostatnio testuje te megaways od BTG.

    To co mnie realnie wkurza to filtrowanie gier — gubi tytuly przy literowce. Ale ogolnie jest ok. Dzial z krupierami stoi na Evolution i w tym miejscu nie ma sie do czego przyczepic — stoliki sa tez PL, a Crazy Time oglada sie lepiej niz niejeden serial.

    Startowy bonus na Mostbet to 125% od wplaty i do tego paczka 250 spinow, nie wszystko naraz. Wagering x60 na spinach, czyli standard, ale nie prezent, prog wejscia to jakies 20 zl. Jesli szukasz biezacych promocji, to zajrzyj na mostbet kod promocyjny 2026 zanim zalozysz konto. Sam proces poszla w doslownie chwile, potwierdzenie dokumentow niecala dobe.

    Cashouty robie zwykle przez Skrill, leci jakies 2-3 godziny. Na Visa/Mastercard schodzilo dwa dni, Bitcoin ponoc idzie najszybciej, ale nie sprawdzalem. Jest tez Neteller, oraz kilka polskich metod.

    Czat w Mostbet jest po polsku, ale czasem widac kalki z tlumacza. Raz mialem przypadek z niezaliczonym bonusem — ogarneli w jakies 20 minut. Licencja Curacao, czyli nie MGA, trzeba wiedziec. Aplikacja mobilna nie krzaczy sie, ale na iOS trzeba sie nameczyc z instalacja.
