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.

    Speel al sinds het voorjaar bij Lalabet en niet gelogen was ik best sceptisch. De collectie is echt niet mis: ergens rond de 3000 slots als ik het goed heb geteld. NetEnt, Play’n GO en Pragmatic domineren wel een beetje, en de usual suspects als Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza en Book of Dead vind je zonder zoeken.

    Waar ik de meeste tijd verlies is het live gedeelte. Dat draait op Evolution en dat is gewoon kwaliteit: live dealers en soms zelfs een Nederlandstalige tafel, plus Crazy Time en Lightning Roulette. Beeldkwaliteit is prima, ook op 4G in de trein.

    Over de bonus: ze geven 100% tot 500 euro met 200 spins erbij, plus 50 no deposit spins bij verificatie. Je moet het 35 keer rondspelen, niks bijzonders dus, maar ook niet crimineel. Lees die kleine lettertjes wel even, de achtergrond van de club vind je op Lalabet Review voor je je aanmeldt. Het aanmelden kostte me een minuut of drie met een minimum van 10 euro.

    iDEAL werkt gewoon, net als Visa, Mastercard, Skrill en Neteller, crypto zoals Bitcoin wordt ook geaccepteerd. Mijn cashout bij Lalabet was na anderhalve dag binnen, behalve die ene keer, toen was het vier dagen. Dat vond ik wel jammer: het documentencheck-gedoe kostte tijd, daarna ging alles vlot.

    Klantenservice zit in een chatvenster, meestal reageert er binnen een paar minuten iemand. De medewerkers van Lalabet spreken Nederlands, al moest ik een keer twee keer uitleggen wat ik bedoelde. Een echte app is er niet, de browserversie op mijn telefoon draait prima dus dat mis ik eigenlijk niet.

    Qua licentie zit het bij Curacao, dus niet onder de Nederlandse KSA — dat moet je zelf afwegen. Bij mij is er in al die maanden niks misgegaan met uitbetalingen, maar ik zet ook geen bizarre bedragen in.

    I’ve been playing at Nonebet for about six months now, mostly on the train home, and figured I’d say a bit since someone asked me the other day. Registration took me like two minutes — email, password, done, though the ID verification hit me later, which is standard. Min deposit was $20 which is fair.

    The lobby’s big — somewhere north of 2,500 titles last I looked. NetEnt stuff is everywhere, so Sweet Bonanza and Book of Dead get pushed hard. My go-to is Yggdrasil and Betsoft titles when I’m not chasing. NetEnt back catalogue is there as well. The live section is Evolution-powered, which means actual dealers, blackjack tables at all hours plus Crazy Time which I watch more than I play.

    Bonus-wise the offer was 100% up to $500 plus 100 free spins, rollover sits at 35x which is about average. They also had a no-deposit spins offer at one point but don’t count on it. Terms change fairly often so it’s worth reading the actual T&Cs at AlexR5z8 profile if you’re thinking about it. The one thing that annoyed me was the max bet rule while wagering — breached it once without noticing and lost the lot. Lesson learned.

    Cashouts at Nonebet have been decent. Bitcoin withdrawals landed in under an hour every time I’ve done it, Skrill and Neteller took 24 hours or so, and the one card withdrawal dragged out to nearly four days which is the slow lane. Deposits are instant via card, Skrill, Neteller and the usual coins.

    Support got back to me in about five minutes at midnight, not just a bot loop once you get past the bot. Nonebet doesn’t have a proper app that I’ve found — it’s a browser thing, but it runs fine on my iPhone. It’s a Curacao licence, which isn’t the ACMA, obviously, make of that what you will for us down here.

    Ogrywam sie tam od jakichs czterech miesiecy, to chyba moge cos napisac. Podrzucil mi to kumpel z innego forum, bo znudzilo mi sie gdzie sloty laduja sie normalnie. Wybor slotow robi wrazenie — w okolicach 3500 tytulow, choc i tak grywam glownie na kilku. Play’n GO, Pragmatic i Yggdrasil maja tam najwiecej swojego, sa oczywiscie Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead.

    Bonus powitalny w Fiery Play to 100% do pierwszego depozytu do 1200 zl razem z 100 spinow gratis, rozbitych na pare pierwszych dni. Wymog obrotu wynosi x35, co uwazam za znosne, ale warto przeczytac warunki — maksymalny zaklad przy obrocie jest ograniczony o czym nikt nie krzyczy. Dorzucali tez kod bez depozytu na 25 spinow, bodajze na jakis czas. Co teraz idzie, mozna podejrzec na fieri play zanim sie zarejestrujecie.

    Cala rejestracja to doslownie chwila, min. depozyt wynosi 50 zl. Wplacam BLIKiem albo karta, cashouty robilem pare razy — dwa razy poszlo w kilka godzin, ale raz meczylem sie prawie trzy dni, bo kazali doslac dowod. Da sie tez krypto i to leci najszybciej.

    Wieczorami siedze glownie na zywo — stoly od Evolution, sa polskojezyczni krupierzy przy ruletce, co sie rzadko trafia. Crazy Time leci non stop, ale to loteria, nie strategia. Stoly blackjacka tez stoja otworem.

    Nie ma osobnej aplikacji, ale strona na telefonie i szczerze — nie brakuje mi jej, chociaz przy slabszym zasiegu transmisja lubi sie ciac. Maja papiery z Curacao, wiec bez cudow — u mnie kasa zawsze przyszla. Czat na Fiery Play dziala po polsku i to zywy czlowiek, nie bot. To co mi najbardziej przeszkadza to spam promocyjny na maila — trzeba to recznie odklikac.
