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.

  • Howdy I wanted to write a new remark on this page for you to be able to tell you just how much i actually Enjoyed reading this read. I have to run off to work but want to leave ya a simple comment. I saved you So will be returning following work in order to go through more of yer quality posts. Keep up the good work.

  • Obstawiam tu od wiosny, wiec mysle ze moge cos napisac. Wpadlem na to przez znajomego z innego watku, z prostego powodu — mialem dosc weryfikacji ciagnacej sie w nieskonczonosc gdzie indziej. To co FieryPlay ma w lobby jest spore — cos ponad 3000 gier, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt z dorzuconym Yggdrasil i Betsoftem.

    Ja gram glownie w Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead, banal, wiem. Dobrze ze mozna odpalic demo bez zakladania konta, przetestowalem pare nowosci zanim zaczalem grac na realne. Filtrowanie niestety mogloby byc lepsze — brakuje mi filtra po zmiennosci.

    Dzial z krupierami to praktycznie w calosci Evolution i to widac. Ruletka, blackjack, i oczywiscie game shows typu Crazy Time — wieczorami potrafie tam zostac dluzej niz planowalem. Krupierzy to zywe osoby, po angielsku, na polski stol nie trafilem — komus moze to przeszkadzac.

    Oferta na dzien dobry u nich w FieryPlay to byl u mnie 100% do 2000 zl plus 100 FS, nie wszystkie od razu, po czesci. Obrot x35 — da sie przerobic, choc trzeba pilnowac. Widzialem takze drobne no deposit spiny po potwierdzeniu telefonu, choc to akcja czasowa. Regulamin przeczytaj zanim klikniesz — kody potrafia sie zmieniac z miesiaca na miesiac, aktualne rzeczy widac na https://swizzpools.com/ dla pewnosci.

    Rejestracja zajela mi dwie minuty, min. depozyt to 20 zl. Wplacam Visa, ale sa tez Skrill, Neteller oraz Bitcoin. Wyplaty w FieryPlay na Skrilla przyszly mi tego samego dnia, na karte czekalem trzy dni robocze. Sprawdzanie dokumentow na start — dowod plus rachunek, nic strasznego.

    Mobilnie gram bez aplikacji, nie ma appki, strona radzi sobie dobrze. Czat z supportem w FieryPlay odpowiada po polsku w kilka minut, choc raz trafilem na kogos kto kopiowal gotowce z FAQ. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao — nie jest to najmocniejszy papier na rynku. Narzedzia do samokontroli sa, sprawdzalem.

    Мобильная версия Pinco полностью повторяет функционал десктопного сайта. Заходите на Пинки вход за актуальными промокодами. Отслеживайте транзакции и историю ставок в личном кабинете.

  • Spot on with this write-up, I actually assume this website needs far more consideration. I will in all probability be once more to learn rather more, thanks for that info.

  • I just couldn’t leave your website before suggesting that I really enjoyed the usual information an individual supply on your visitors? Is gonna be back often in order to investigate cross-check new posts

  • I think I might disagree with some of your analysis. Are the figures solid?

    Enjoyed studying this, very good stuff, thanks.

  • I have been curious about these trends, and you have really helped me. I have just told a few of my friends about this on FaceBook and they love your content just as much as I do.

    Siedze na tej stronce od jakichs trzech miesiecy, no to cos tam juz wiem. Podrzucil mi to kumpel z innego forum, bo znudzilo mi sie gdzie sloty laduja sie normalnie. Wybor slotow robi wrazenie — jakies 3500 automatow, co prawda realnie krece moze na dziesieciu. Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO i NetEnt sa tam najmocniej reprezentowane, no i klasyki typu Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead.

    Pakiet powitalny w Fiery Play to 100% do pierwszego depozytu do 1200 zl razem z 150 free spinow, rozlozonych na pare pierwszych dni. Obrot to x30, co uwazam za znosne, tyle ze czytajcie regulamin — maksymalny zaklad przy obrocie to jakies 5 zl i mozna to przegapic. Dorzucali tez bonus bez wplaty, chyba 50 spinow, ale to chyba akcja czasowa. Co teraz idzie, mozna podejrzec na https://robbezemerphotography.nl/2026/08/28/fire-spin-bonus-bez-depozytu-pelny-przewodnik-warunki-rejestracja-i-wyplaty jak was to interesuje.

    Rejestracja zajela mi moze trzy minuty, najnizsza wplata to 40 zl. Zwykle ide karta, czasem Neteller, cashouty mialem chyba cztery — raz zeszlo pol dnia, ale raz meczylem sie prawie trzy dni, bo kazali doslac dowod. Kryptowaluty tez sa i podobno tam idzie najszybciej.

    Sekcja live to dla mnie najwiekszy plus — Evolution robi tam stoly, czesc krupierow mowi po polsku, czego sie nie spodziewalem. Crazy Time oczywiscie jest, choc ja tam bardziej ogladam niz gram. Ruletka i blackjack tez stoja otworem.

    Nie ma osobnej aplikacji, ale strona na telefonie smiga calkiem niezle, chociaz przy slabszym zasiegu obraz potrafi sie zaciac. Licencja jest curacaowska, czyli standard w tej branzy — u mnie kasa zawsze przyszla. Obsluga w Fiery Play odpowiada po polsku choc pierwsze dwie odpowiedzi to bot. To co mi najbardziej przeszkadza to spam promocyjny na maila — wylaczylem w ustawieniach i spokoj.
