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.

    Ogrywam sie tu od jakichs pieciu miesiecy, wiec pare rzeczy zdazylem sprawdzic. Polecil mi to kumpel, z ktorym gadamy o slotach, z lekkim dystansem. Kolekcja gier w Vox Casino to jakies 3000+ pozycji — Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, Play’n GO i Big Time Gaming dostajesz w komplecie, wiec Gates of Olympus czy Book of Dead odpalisz bez szukania.

    Osobiscie najczesciej siedze w sekcji live. Evolution ciagnie tam praktycznie wszystko, obraz nie tnie nawet wieczorem. Lightning Roulette wciaga mnie najbardziej, choc realnie to loteria z ladna oprawa. Minus: nie ma stolu z polskim krupierem, wiec angielski sie przydaje.

    Bonus powitalny w Vox Casino wyglada na 100% do 1500 zl i dwiescie spinow, a spiny leca partiami przez piec dni, nie wszystkie naraz. Obrot ustawiony na x40 — standard, nic strasznego, ale i nie zadna sensacja. Prog wejscia to jakies 40 zl, rejestracja zajela mi doslownie dwie minuty. Po swieze kody bonusowe zagladam przez vox casino kod promocyjny, bo czesc starych ofert juz wygasla. Jak zapomnisz kodu, to bonusu nie dolicza wstecz — sprawdzilem na wlasnej skorze.

    Wyplacanie schodzi u nich calkiem sprawnie. Skrill i Neteller laduje na koncie w kilka godzin, na Mastercard czekalem dwa dni. Bitcoin obsluguja, sprawdzalem raz, to chyba najszybszy kanal. Proces weryfikacji w Vox Casino zajal mi dwa dni — dowod plus rachunek za prad, z tym sie trzeba pogodzic wszedzie.

    Gdybym mial sie do czegos przyczepic — nie ma appki, tylko wersja przegladarkowa. Strona na telefonie dziala calkiem znosnie, tyle ze wyszukiwarka gier moglaby byc lepsza. Support Vox Casino odpowiada po polsku, czekalem gora piec minut, choc raz o trzeciej w nocy trafilem chyba na bota. Jak dla mnie w porzadku miejsce, ale limity depozytowe ustaw sobie od razu.

    Gram na Mostbecie od jakichs siedmiu miesiecy, w wiekszosci sloty, sporadycznie cos z live. Zapisalem sie bo kolega z pracy gadal o tym, szczerze mowiac bez entuzjazmu. Lobby jest calkiem obszerny — gdzies 3 tysiecy gier, Pragmatic, NetEnt, Microgaming. Sweet Bonanza mam w ulubionych, chociaz ostatnio testuje nowsze rzeczy z Yggdrasil.

    Jedna rzecz mnie denerwuje to filtrowanie gier — dziala tak sobie. Pomijajac to nie mam dramatow. Dzial z krupierami stoi na Evolution i tu akurat robota odwalona porzadnie — ruletki sa tez PL, a Monopoly Live jest ciekawsze niz niejeden serial.

    Bonus powitalny na Mostbet to mniej wiecej 125% plus paczka 250 spinow, wrzucane partiami. Wagering x60 na spinach, czyli standard, ale nie prezent, min. depozyt to jakies 20 zl. Jak ktos szuka biezacych promocji, to warto zerknac na Darmowy voucher Mostbet 2026 bez depozytu – metody płatności i wypłaty zanim zalozysz konto. Sam proces zajela mi jakies 3 minuty, KYC jeden dzien.

    Kase wyciagam glownie Skrillem, idzie w 2-3 godziny. Przez karte trzeba bylo czekac jakies 48h, Bitcoin ponoc idzie najszybciej, nie testowalem osobiscie. Neteller dziala, plus e-portfele.

    Czat w Mostbet jest po polsku, ale czasem widac kalki z tlumacza. Raz mialem przypadek z niezaliczonym bonusem — rozwiazali tego samego dnia. Licencja Curacao, czyli nie MGA, trzeba wiedziec. Wersja na telefon nie krzaczy sie, ale na iOS jest to mniej wygodne.
