IMB to Tackle Bills of Lading Fraud

The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) announced that it has launched a new initiative aiming to mitigate bills of lading (B/L) fraud conducted by non-vessel owning common carriers (NVOCCs).

News key points: 

1

NVOCC Register - A solution provider

The IMB NVOCC Register provides a business solution to a business problem impacting parties involved in international shipping and trade.
2

B/Ls Key Documents

B/Ls are crucial documents relied upon by many stakeholders in the trading chain including banks, shipping companies, carriers and charterers.
3

IMB checks B/L for its members

While the vast majority of NVOCCs issue B/Ls correctly, there is a small minority that do not.
4

95% false B/Ls

IMB’s says that up to 95 percent of the false B/Ls identified by the Bureau are issued by NVOCCs.
5

An IMB spokesman said

“Incidents of ship owners/carriers or their agents issuing false B/Ls are uncommon because they take a big risk in doing so and open themselves to legal action.
6

However

unlike the carriers or their agents, the majority of NVOCCs do not have any assets which are at risk in these transactions except for their reputations.
7

Fraudulent Practices in B/Ls

This could lead to fraudulent practices, and banks that unwittingly process false B/Ls could discover that either there are no cargoes underlying the documents or that the shipments may be misrepresented.
8

IMB spokesman added

“The NVOCC Register therefore recognises participating NVOCCs who adhere to a minimum standard of anti-fraud measures in their operations,”
9

Inviting NVOCCs

IMB is inviting NVOCCs to sign up to its NVOCC Register. In doing so they will also have to sign up to a Code of Conduct for the issuance of B/Ls. Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in removal of the NVOCC from the Register in certain circumstances.
10

The intention behind NVOCC Register

The intention is not to exclude defaulting NVOCCs but to help them improve the steps taken to issue bills of lading which is relied upon by a number of other stakeholders.
11

Advantage to Signup for NVOCC Register

IMB says an advantage of signing up to the Register is that banks may process the documents of NVOCCs on the Register faster than those that are not.

    Signed up to true fortune casino around four months ago after a mate dropped the name, and not gonna lie I reckoned it’d be yet another cookie-cutter places that vanish after a month. Still here though, so that says something I suppose.

    Game selection is no joke huge — I’d guess around 3,000 titles going by the counter. Play’n GO dominate my recents, so expect the usual suspects — Sweet Bonanza swallows most of my balance, and I’ve had the odd good session on Betsoft titles too. Evolution classics are buried a bit but they exist.

    Live section is all Evolution by the looks of it, which is about as good as it gets. The game shows get a fair few players around 8pm, the hosts are real and chatty and the streams hold up on my phone. Sign-up offers came in at a match up to ?500 with 50 free spins, the rollover comes in at 35x — standard, not generous. There was a tenner no-deposit at one point too; these rotate quite a bit so you’d want to check what’s live at true fortune casino before depositing.

    You can get in from ?10 I think, verification took about five minutes. Debit card goes through instantly, Neteller are supported and there’s Bitcoin as well though I’ve not bothered. Cashouts to Skrill came through in a day and a bit, bank transfer dragged to three days.

    What did irritate me: KYC wanted a second utility bill, which held up my first payout for about 48 hours. The chat team sorted it but the first agent was clearly reading a script. They’re licensed — I did look it up, so it’s the first thing I check now.

    No app as far as I found, it’s browser-based — loads quick on my iPhone, but search is a bit clunky on a small screen. I’m still playing there, so is the honest answer.

    Been playing at true fortune casino about half a year back when a lad from my footy group banged on about it, and honestly I expected it’d be yet another forgettable places that vanish within weeks. Still here though, so make of that what you want.

    Game selection is properly stacked — I’d guess around 3,000 games if the filter’s honest. NetEnt take up most of my recents, so you get all the standards — Gates of Olympus swallows most of my balance, and there’s a couple of proper hits on Yggdrasil titles too. Microgaming the back catalogue is tucked away but you can find them.

    Live section is Evolution-run as far as I can tell, and that’s the standard these days. Crazy Time and Monopoly Live get a decent crowd in the evenings, croupiers are actual people and quality’s sharp on home broadband. The bonus is 100% up to ?300 and 100 free spins, the rollover comes in at 35x — standard, not generous. I got a small no deposit thing at one point as well; the promos shift monthly so it’s worth a check what’s live over on true fortune if you’re thinking about it.

    Min deposit’s ?10 last time I topped up, sign-up was about five minutes. Visa goes through instantly, e-wallets are the fast option and they do crypto now though I’ve not bothered. Cashouts to Skrill landed in about 24 hours, though card took nearer 72 hours.

    The one thing that annoyed me: KYC got asked for twice, which delayed a withdrawal for about 48 hours. Support fixed it eventually but I had to repeat myself. Regulation side and that mattered to me, which is the first thing I check now.

    No app for Android, the responsive site does the job — works well enough on my iPhone, although search is a bit clunky with one hand. I’ve not moved on, so probably tells you enough.
