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.

    A wholly agreeable point of view, I think primarily based on my own experience with this that your points are well made, and your analysis on target.

    I was browsing through a few different games after work when lucky 8 caught my attention, mostly because the number eight has always been one of those symbols people naturally connect with luck and good fortune.

    Bin da jetzt seit gut vier Monaten dabei, also kann ich schon was dazu sagen. Crypto Control hat eine echt volle Lobby — weit uber 2000 Slots, genaue Zahl wei? ich nicht. NetEnt und Betsoft sind reichlich dabei, ich hang meistens an Gates of Olympus oder Book of Dead fest.

    Die Begru?ungsaktion war so ziemlich der Hauptgrund, warum ich es probiert hab. 100 Prozent auf die erste Einzahlung bis 500€ und dazu 200 Free Spins, die Spins tropfeln uber ein paar Tage rein. Was man wissen sollte: 35x Umsatz, schaffbar, aber nichts fur nebenbei. Es gab auch mal 20 Freispiele ohne Einzahlung, aber die Aktionen wechseln standig.

    Die jeweils gultigen Angebote stehen bei solana casino , kurz die AGB uberfliegen schadet nie. Eingezahlt werden mussen mindestens 20€, Konto war fix erstellt.

    Geld rausholen lief es besser als gedacht: uber BTC waren es keine 90 Minuten, uber Neteller etwa einen Werktag. Mit Visa oder Mastercard geht’s genauso, dauert aber gefuhlt ewig langer. Die Verifizierung bei Crypto Control war nervig — Perso plus Stromrechnung, das ubliche Theater.

    Am Abend lande ich fast immer bei den Live-Tischen. Das lauft uber Evolution, Crazy Time ist bei mir Pflichtprogramm, plus reichlich Roulette und Blackjack. Deutschsprachige Croupiers gibt’s an einigen Tischen, nicht flachendeckend, trotzdem nett.

    Mobil nutze ich einfach den Browser, keine native App, ist mir aber wumpe. Der Support von Crypto Control antwortet im Chat auf Deutsch, meistens innerhalb von funf Minuten, manchmal muss man halt zweimal nachhaken. Lauft unter Curacao-Lizenz, also nicht nach deutschem Glucksspielstaatsvertrag reguliert, das sollte einem klar sein.

    Sto su Slot Shopper da qualche mese e ormai posso dire due cose sensate. La libreria e davvero ampia, sulle 2.500 giochi se non ho contato male, con Pragmatic Play che fa il grosso del lavoro. Sweet Bonanza lo trovi subito in evidenza, poi ci sono Betsoft e Big Time Gaming per chi ama rischiare di piu.

    La parte live gira su Evolution, per cui sai gia cosa aspettarti: dealer in carne e ossa, anche tavoli italiani, non sempre pero, e ovviamente Crazy Time e compagnia dove la sera trovi un casino di gente. L’unica cosa che mi ha infastidito: in 4G debole il flusso perde colpi, pero forse e piu un problema della mia linea.

    Riguardo al benvenuto: Slot Shopper da un benvenuto del 100% fino a 300€ piu 200 free spin, non tutti insieme ma a scaglioni. Si parla di un rollover 40x sulla parte bonus, che non e regalato ma e nella media. Girano pure dei giri senza deposito se ti iscrivi alla newsletter, in ogni caso conviene guardare le promo aggiornate su slotshopper perche cambiano spesso.

    Deposito minimo 20€, signup rapido ma il documento te lo chiedono per il KYC. Io deposito con la carta Visa e il prelievo mi e arrivato in 24-48 ore. Visa, Mastercard, i soliti e-wallet e anche crypto tipo Bitcoin, nessun problema di metodi. La prima volta pero ho aspettato piu del previsto perche stavano verificando i documenti.

    Da telefono va tutto dal browser, il sito si adatta bene, semplice e senza intoppi. Slot Shopper ha l’assistenza in italiano e in chat ti prendono in carico abbastanza presto, mi hanno sistemato un bonus bloccato senza discussioni. Sono regolati con licenza MGA, cosa che per me conta piu del bonus.
