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.

    Pelasin Lottolandilla pari kuukautta sitten ja pakko sanoo et alkuun oli skeptinen mutta positiivisesti yllatti. Tilin luonti ei kestany kauaa, nimi ja sahkoposti ja pari vahvistusta ja paas sisaan. Ekan talletuksen sai tehtya kympilla Visan kautta ja oli sujuvaa. Taa on yks niista jutuista mika ratkasee mulle aika paljon — jos talletus tokkii niin en jaksa.

    Peleista taytyy sanoo etta on aika laaja. Lottoland vetaa sisaan peleja isoilta pelintekijoilta niinku NetEnt ja Big Time Gaming, joten tutut nimikkeet on paikalla. Ma pelasin Book of Deadia aika paljon ja muutama kiva voitto iski. Kolikkopeleja on reilusti yli tuhat ja sit on blackjackia ja rulettia kans. Pieni miinus — filtterit ei oo paras mahdollinen, loytaa kylla mut vaatii klikkailua.

    Livepeleista loytyy ihan kunnon livepoytia ja pelattiin Crazy Timea ja blackjackia yksin illalla. Striimi pelaa hyvin puhelimella, mika on iso plussa. Bonuksista sen verran — mulle tuli matchbonuksen plus freespinneja. Kierratys oli kolmisenkymmenta kertaa ja se on normaali. Lue pienella painettu silti etukateen.

    Nostot Lottolandista meni mulle ihan ok. Netellerin kautta meni noin paiva ja Visa-nosto meni ehka kolme paivaa. Ei mitaan kauheen erikoista mutta ei valittamista. Kannattaa vilkasta nykyiset tarjoukset suoraan lottoland casino jos kiinnostaa. Support hoituu chatilla ja oon saanu ihan nopeesti ku oli ongelma.

    Kannykalla pelaaminen onnistuu suoraan selaimessa eika tarvi ladata mitaan. Sivusto latautuu nopeesti ja pelit pyorii ihan hyvin. Lisenssit nakyy sivuilla mika antaa tiettya turvaa. Ainoo mika vahan hairitsi et suomenkielista tukee ei taida olla, mut kylla silla parjaa. Mut joo aion jatkaa Lottolandissa kunnes joku parempi tulee vastaan.

    Ho scoperto Crazy Time un paio di mesi fa tramite un amico e devo dire che mi ha sorpreso. Pensavo fosse il solito sito perche ne ho provati tanti, ma il catalogo giochi e enorme. Hanno roba di Pragmatic Play tipo Sweet Bonanza e Gates of Olympus, poi diverse slot di NetEnt piu roba Play’n GO tipo Book of Dead. Ci saranno oltre duemila titoli, quindi non ti annoi di certo.

    Il live casino e fatta davvero bene. Tutto in mano a Evolution, con dealer dal vivo e la qualita video e ottima. Ho passato ore su la ruota di Crazy Time e non te ne stacchi piu. Blackjack, baccarat e roulette ci sono ovviamente, ma le ruote tipo Monopoly Live sono un altro livello. Un difetto che mi ha dato fastidio e che la sera nei weekend qualche tavolo lagga, ma ci convivi.

    Quando ti registri su Crazy Time ti danno il 100% sul primo deposito fino a 500 euro con in aggiunta 50 giri gratis sulla slot del momento. Il wagering e 35x, non il migliore ma nemmeno assurdo. Ho visto posti con 25x, pero almeno non ti fregano con clausole nascoste. Il deposito minimo e di venti euro. Vi consiglio di guardare le offerte attuali direttamente su Crazy Time per vedere cosa c’e.

    Per versare e prelevare funzionano senza intoppi. Puoi usare Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller e anche Bitcoin. Ho prelevato con Skrill ed e arrivato il giorno dopo. Meglio di certi posti dove aspetti una settimana. Sul telefono Crazy Time funziona bene dal browser senza scaricare nulla, si adatta bene allo schermo e non ho avuto crash. Un no deposit bonus non l’ho trovato, peccato.

    L’assistenza clienti fa il suo lavoro. Ho scritto in chat per un problema col bonus e mi hanno risposto in pochi minuti. E rispondono in italiano. Hanno licenza di Curacao, che non e il massimo, pero non ho mai avuto rogne. Per chi gioca dall’Italia mi trovo bene.

    Mi sono imbattuto in Crazy Time piu o meno qualche settimana fa cercando qualcosa di diverso dal solito e devo dire che non me l’aspettavo. All’inizio ero scettico, sai come funziona con queste cose, ma dopo averci giocato un po’ mi sono ricreduto. Iscriversi e stato rapido, tipo cinque minuti e ero dentro. Il deposito minimo non e alto, credo una decina di euro, il che e comodo per testare senza rischiare troppo.

    Il catalogo e parecchio fornita. Trovi slot di Pragmatic Play come Gates of Olympus che e una bomba, poi titoli di NetEnt e qualcosa di Play’n GO come Book of Dead. Complessivamente ci saranno oltre mille giochi se conti tutto. Il live casino e targata Evolution con croupier veri — lo show Crazy Time con la ruota e il mio preferito, le moltiplicazioni a volte sono assurde. Ci passo le ore li sopra.

    Il bonus di benvenuto che ho preso su Crazy Time e stato un match del 100% fino a cinquecento euro con in aggiunta 50 giri gratis su Sweet Bonanza. Il wagering e di trentacinque volte il bonus, non e poco ma e nella media per il settore. Ci sono anche bonus no deposit di tanto in tanto per chi gioca gia, il che e un bel tocco. Vi consiglio di dare un’occhiata alle offerte attuali direttamente su Crazy Time se vi interessa.

    Per i pagamenti si puo usare Visa e Mastercard, e-wallet tipo Skrill e Neteller, e pure crypto se preferite. Le mie withdrawal li ho ricevuti entro un giorno con Skrill, che e decente. Una cosa comoda e che hanno l’app — ho fatto il crazy time download sul telefono e gira liscia. Non serve cercare l’apk da siti strani perche dal sito ufficiale si trova subito. Da mobile e comodissima.

    L’assistenza di Crazy Time risponde via live chat ventiquattr’ore su ventiquattro e anche in italiano, cosa non scontata. Una cosa che mi ha scocciato: il KYC ha richiesto quasi 72 ore, piu del previsto. Ma dopo quello zero problemi. Hanno la licenza Curacao, non e AAMS ma e comunque qualcosa. Ci gioco volentieri e continuo a tornare.

    Been using Rolletto for like six weeks or so and wanted to share what I think. Came across it after googling around for somewhere new after I got fed up with where I normally play. Signed up took about under five minutes, just the usual details, and I dropped ?20 to start — min deposit is ?20 which isn’t bad.

    Their sign-up offer looked alright — I got a match of a hundred percent up to €500 plus 200 free spins. Playthrough is at 35x which could be worse honestly I’ve seen. Spins landed on Big Bass Bonanza if I remember right. Tbh, spins were a bit dead but that bonus cash kept me going.

    The lobby on Rolletto is honestly massive. They’ve got stuff from Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, and Evolution handles the live stuff. I’ve been hammering Book of Dead and Big Time Gaming stuff like Bonanza. Looks like there’s over 3000 games across the whole site. The live section is solid too — blackjack and roulette, and I keep going back to Lightning Roulette which is dangerously fun. Real croupiers streaming, stream is crisp even on mobile.

    Withdrawals are where I was sceptical at first and actually no complaints. I’ve used Neteller and funds hit in roughly a day. You can also use Mastercard plus other options if that’s your thing. I’d check out what they’ve got on offer on Rolletto before you sign up. The thing that bugs me — they took like four days to clear which was frustrating.

    On my phone, Rolletto loads nicely in Chrome — they don’t have an app but the mobile site is smooth. Everything loads fast and I’ve played on the bus no problems. Customer service is live chat 24/7 and they replied in under a minute when I had a bonus question. They’re Curacao licensed — worth noting it’s not UK-regulated and some people might care about that.

    Honestly, there are niggles — KYC speed plus the layout feels slightly cluttered in places. But the games are class, payouts have been reliable for me, and that welcome offer gave me good value. Not for everyone maybe but I’ll keep playing at Rolletto for now.

    Been messing around on Revery Play for roughly six weeks or so and figured I’d give my two cents on this. I registered one evening out of boredom — minimum deposit was only ?10 which wasn’t bad, threw in fifty quid and got a 100% welcome bonus up to 500 quid plus 150 free spins on registration. Wagering is 35x and could be better honestly but manageable if you stick to slots.

    Game selection actually surprised me — they’ve got roughly 3000 slots and table games from providers like Play’n GO, NetEnt, Betsoft. Spent most of my time on Gates of Olympus mainly — had a solid session on Book of Dead recently. Live tables runs on Evolution — Lightning Roulette is addictive honestly, real croupiers and everything.

    The bit I appreciate about Revery Play is the cashout speed. My go-to is my Visa and my withdrawal came through within under 24 hours. There’s also Bitcoin and other e-wallets which is handy. You can browse what’s available on the write-up to see for yourself.

    That said, it’s not all perfect. Customer support at Revery Play took ages once — I waited like 15 minutes on chat the other day. And the mobile version works fine but some menus are fiddly next to other sites I use. No standalone app, it’s browser-only on mobile.

    Overall though, I keep coming back so make of that what you will. The site is properly licensed and seems legit. If you’re in the UK this is a decent option — just be patient with the support response times.
