NVOCC register created and minimum standards set for the
Issuance of NVOCC Bills of Lading
FMC defines NVOCC – Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier as:
- A common carrier that holds itself out to the public to provide ocean transportation, issues its own house bill of lading or equivalent document and does not operate the vessels by which ocean transportation is provided
- A shipper in its relationship with the vessel-operating common carrier involved in the movement of cargo
As there is no global regulatory body to register, control or regulate NVOCCs around the world, it is difficult to see how many NVOCCs are currently in operation around the world or where they are based..
- It is widely believed that the US market has the largest number of NVOCC operators in the world.. USA may also be one of the few countries where an NVOCC needs to be registered prior to offering services..
- NVOCC registration is also required in China as per certain publications which say that the operator must be registered with Ministry of Transportation..
- Not just in terms of their registration, but there doesn’t seem to be a clear definition on whether the NVOCC operator needs to register their bill of lading or not..
- Similarly, the requirement or need for registration of an NVOCC in other major jurisdictions is clear as mud..
What is the function of an NVOCC..??
An NVOCC is often termed as a “carrier to shippers” and “shipper to carriers”.. What does this mean..??
At the most basic level, an NVOCC enters into volume-based ocean freight arrangements with the various shipping lines operating across the various trade lanes.. An NVOCC then creates their own tariff based on which they sell space on these liner services to their various clients..
Depending on certain jurisdictions and markets, NVOCC’s activities may include but not restricted to below :
Ok, now to the subject of this post..
The ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) estimates from its work in verifying Bills of Lading that over 95% of all improperly issued Bills of Lading are issued by – yeah you guessed it – Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs)..
The IMB identified that there is a prevalence of issuance of incorrect NVOCC bills of lading by the NVOCC which is then presented to banks and other stakeholders in the trading and finance chain, with the aim of defrauding the trade finance system, possibly for the purposes of multiple financing, money laundering, etc..
The IMB has developed a business solution to mitigate the effects of this problem..
The IMB has established a register for Non Vessel Operating Common Carriers (the Register) who agree to abide by the IMB Code of Conduct for the proper issuance of NVOCC Bills of Lading..
The purpose of the Register is to improve anti-fraud standards and provide a mechanism to recognise participating NVOCCs who adhere to a minimum standard of anti-fraud measures in their operations..
Banks who are members of the IMB can now check whether the NVOCC named on the bill of lading presented to them has signed up to the IMB Code of Conduct..
This provides some sort of assurance to the banks and customers that the NVOCC bills of lading issued by these NVOCCs meet acceptable standards.. There are of course consequences for NVOCCs who fail to comply..
TT Club noted that in terms of banking scrutiny, The International Chamber of Commerce’s Commercial Crime Services division has a primary function of protecting the integrity of international trade by seeking out fraud and malpractice and providing reports based on this activity to its members..
Commercial banks conduct thousands of investigations each year in relation to fraudulent bills of lading and these investigations are undertaken by the IMB..
As part of the investigation process, IMB conducts due diligence on all trade documents, including bills of lading, and seeks independent third-party verification to provide an extra level of confidence in transactions..
Safeguard against shipping and freight fraudThis supports banks in relation to their compliance procedures to prevent fraud, money laundering and sanctions breaches, especially since banks are not obligated or have no resources to verify if the goods have been shipped on board..
Suspect bills of lading are those which have false content including the wrong ship, dates, description of cargoes, container numbers or parties..
Perpetrators present such bills of lading to banks to facilitate fraudulent activity including money laundering, fraud, illegal capital flight and to by-pass sanctions..
Shipping and Freight Resource fully supports this initiative of the IMB which sets out the standards for the issuance of NVOCC bills of lading, and also the fact that there will now be a register where NVOCCs can be tracked..
What is your opinion on this initiative..??
This is hugely beneficial to the shipping and freight industry and will surely reduce potential exposures to fraudulent activity throughout the supply chain..
Hopefully, in due course, this will become a regulatory requirement for NVOCCs and maybe even Freight Forwarders, much like a customs broker or clearing agent licence.
PS: As a point of interest, only the ICC and IMB seems to be expanding NVOCC as Non-Vessel Owning Common Carrier whereas everyone else including FMC, World Shipping Council, TT Club seems to expanding NVOCC as Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier..
Although it could mean both Owning or Operating, would be interesting to hear the rationale.

Assalomu alaykum, men bu yerda taxminan besh oydan beri o’ynayman, shuning uchun tajribamni yozib qo’yay dedim. Rostini aytsam, boshida ishonmagandim — O’zbekistonda bunaqa kontoralar to’lib yotibdi, ko’pchiligi pul to’lamaydi. Lekin 888starz menda shu paytgacha muammo tug’dirmadi.
O’yinlar tomonini aytsam, tanlov haqiqatan katta — menimcha 5000dan oshadi, aniq sanamadim. Asosan Pragmatic Play o’yinlarini aylantiraman: Gates of Olympus va Sweet Bonanza klassika, gohida Play’n GO ning Book of Dead ga o’tib turaman. NetEnt va Yggdrasil dan ham yetarlicha bor, lekin ularni kamroq o’ynayman. Jonli bo’lim alohida gap — Evolution dan, haqiqiy dilerlar, Crazy Time bo’lsa ishdan keyin dam olishga juda mos.
Xush kelibsiz bonusi tomoni ham yomon emas: birinchi depozitga 100% qo’shimcha va yana 100 bepul aylanish beriladi. Faqat veydjerga e’tibor bering — odatda x40 atrofida, ya’ni tezda chiqarolmaysiz, sabr kerak. Men avvaliga shartlarni to’liq ko’rmay olgandim, keyin afsuslandim. Joriy aksiyalarni 888starz скачать на андроид orqali tekshirib olishingiz mumkin, pul tashlashdan avval shuni maslahat beraman.
Pul kirim-chiqimi haqida: Visa va Mastercard ishlaydi, Skrill bilan Neteller ham qo’shilgan, Bitcoin orqali ham mumkin — o’zim asosan USDT dan foydalanib turaman, chunki tezroq. Eng kam summa kichkina, taxminan 10 000 so’m atrofida bo’lsa kerak. Yaqinda yechib oldim — kriptoga bir soatga qolmay keldi, karta bilan bo’lsa sutkacha kutishga to’g’ri keldi.
Telefon versiyasi to’g’risida ikki og’iz: saytdan apk faylni olish mumkin, Android da bemalol o’rnatiladi, iPhone uchun ham variant bor, faqat biroz chalkashroq. Mobil brauzerda ham normal ishlaydi, dastur bo’lsa tezroq ko’rindi. Meni bezor qilgan narsa — hujjat tekshiruvi biroz cho’zildi, ikki kun kutdim, support xizmati ruscha normal ishlaydi, o’zbekchada ba’zida kechikadi. Ruxsatnoma Curacao niki, demak odatdagi variant — ba’zilar bunga e’tiroz bildiradi, men uchun muhim emas, negaki pul chiqarishda kamchilik ko’rmadim.
Qale do’stlar, shaxsan o’zim deyarli yarim yildan beri stavka qilaman, shuning uchun fikrimni yozib qo’yay dedim. To’g’risi, boshida shubha bilan qaragandim — bizda bunaqa saytlar to’lib yotibdi, yarmisi to’lovda ming bahona qiladi. Lekin 888starz mening holatimda hozircha umuman aldamadi.
O’yinlar tomonini aytsam, assortiment juda keng — menimcha 6000ga yaqin oshadi, hech kim sanab chiqmagan bo’lsa kerak. Ko’proq Pragmatic Play narsalarini tepaman: Gates of Olympus va Sweet Bonanza eskirmaydi, gohida Play’n GO ning Book of Dead ga qaytaman. NetEnt va Yggdrasil ham bor, faqat ularni siyrak ochaman. Jonli bo’lim yaxshi yig’ilgan — Evolution dan, tirik dilerlar, Crazy Time esa ishdan keyin vaqt o’tkazishga zo’r.
Bonus tomoni ham yomon emas: dastlabki to’ldirishda 100 foiz ustiga va yana 150 bepul aylanish beriladi. Faqat veydjerga e’tibor bering — odatda x35 chamasi, ya’ni darrov yechib bo’lmaydi, shoshilmaslik kerak. Men birinchi safar shartlarni to’liq ko’rmay olib yubordim va biroz kuyib qoldim. Joriy aksiyalarni 888starz скачать на айфон dan ko’rib chiqsangiz bo’ladi, ro’yxatdan o’tishdan oldin shuni maslahat beraman.
Pul kirim-chiqimi bo’yicha: kartalar bemalol o’tadi, Skrill bilan Neteller ham bor, kripto orqali ham mumkin — o’zim ko’proq USDT dan foydalanib turaman, chunki kutish kam. Minimal depozit kichkina, taxminan 10 000 so’m atrofida desa ham bo’ladi. O’tgan hafta chiqarib oldim — hamyonga bir soatga qolmay tushdi, karta bilan bo’lsa sutkacha kutishga to’g’ri keldi.
Ilova to’g’risida ham aytay: rasmiy sahifadan ilovani olish mumkin, android da bemalol ishlaydi, iPhone egalari ham variant bor, lekin biroz murakkabroq. Brauzerda ham yaxshi ishlaydi, ilova esa tezroq ko’rindi. Menga yoqmagan jihat — hujjat tekshiruvi biroz sekin bo’ldi, uch kunga yaqin kutdim, qo’llab-quvvatlash esa rus tilida normal ishlaydi, o’zbekchada gohida sekinroq. Ruxsatnoma Curacao niki, demak xalqaro variant — kimdir bunga e’tiroz bildiradi, menga muhim emas, negaki pul chiqarishda hozircha aldanmadim.
Salom hammaga, shaxsan o’zim qariyb yarim yildan beri stavka qilaman, shuning uchun fikrimni bo’lishmoqchiman. To’g’risi, boshida ishonmagandim — O’zbekistonda bunaqa kontoralar ko’p, ko’pchiligi pul to’lamaydi. Ammo 888starz mening holatimda shu paytgacha muammo tug’dirmadi.

Jonli bo’lim alohida gap — Evolution dan, haqiqiy krupyelar, Crazy Time esa kechqurun vaqt o’tkazishga zo’r.
Xush kelibsiz bonusi tomoni ancha munosib: birinchi depozitga 100 foiz ustiga plyus 200 bepul aylanish beriladi. Faqat shartga qarab qo’ying — odatda x35 atrofida, demak darrov yechib bo’lmaydi, sabr kerak. O’zim avvaliga qoidalarni to’liq ko’rmay olib yubordim va biroz kuyib qoldim. Amaldagi takliflarni 888starz uz skachat dan ko’rib chiqsangiz bo’ladi, ro’yxatdan o’tishdan oldin shu foydali bo’ladi.
Pul kirim-chiqimi bo’yicha: kartalar bemalol o’tadi, Skrill bilan Neteller ham bor, kripto orqali ham mumkin — men asosan kriptodan foydalanib turaman, chunki tezroq. Minimal depozit arzimagan, taxminan 10 000 so’m chamasi desa ham bo’ladi. O’tgan hafta chiqarib oldim — hamyonga yarim soatda keldi, karta bilan bo’lsa sutkacha kutishga to’g’ri keldi.

罚罪警察调查重大案件，正邪对抗与人物成长精彩呈现高清免费点击观看
Ребята кто ищет работу Задолбался я уже искать нормальную работу Пересмотрел тысячи вакансий Короче, реально рабочий вариант — казахстан работа вахтовым методом Берут даже без опыта В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — ищу работу в казахстане ищу работу в казахстане Найдите нормальную работу Перешлите тому кто ищет работу
والله بصراحة أنا ليا حوالي خمس شهور بلعب على المنصة دي ومش هقول إنها كاملة الأوصاف، لكن الواقع إن اللي شفته أحسن من كتير حاجات جربتها قبل كده. أنا من القاهرة والوجع الدايم عندنا في مصر هي السحب والإيداع، وعشان كده كان أهم حاجة اختبرتها.
أول لعبة فتحتها كانت Gates of Olympus من Pragmatic Play، وبعدها دخلت على Sweet Bonanza وكمان Book of Dead بتاعة بلاي إن جو. الكتالوج ضخمة فعلاً — فيه فوق الـ ٧٥٠٠ لعبة ما بين NetEnt و Microgaming و Yggdrasil و Betsoft. النقطة الحلوة إن بيبقى تنوع حقيقي مش نفس اللعبة متكررة.
قسم الكازينو المباشر اللي شغالة بـ Evolution هو اللي بقضي فيه وقت أكتر. الروليت والبلاك جاك والكروبيهات بني آدمين فعلاً والصورة واضحة حتى مع بيانات الموبايل. Crazy Time بالذات إدمان والله — كسبت فيها مرة مبلغ حلو وبعدها رجعتها كلها، الحكاية دي معروفة.
في موضوع البونص: الترحيبي عندهم مضاعفة أول إيداع مع لفات مجانية والحد الأدنى للإيداع بسيط جداً — دولار أو اتنين. لكن خلي بالك من الـ wagering لأنها ٤٠ مرة واللي مش سهل. شوف الشروط المحدثة على 888starz تحميل قبل ما تسجل. عملية التسجيل أخدت مني تلات دقايق بالتوثيق.
السحب في أول عملية استغرق يومين عشان التحقق من الهوية، وده ضايقني شوية بس بعد كده بقى أسرع بكتير. بحول الكريبتو حالياً لأنه بيوصل في دقايق، رغم إن الفيزا والمحافظ الإلكترونية شغالين برضه. تطبيق الموبايل على الأندرويد مش تقيل و 888starz تحميل مباشر من موقعهم مش من بلاي ستور — حاجة لازم تنتبه لها. خدمة العملاء بيرد عربي بس أحياناً بيبطأ وقت الذروة. الترخيص كوراساو، وده معناه مش MGA لكن الموقع شغال من سنين من غير قصص نصب.
I really appreciate how this post keeps the discussion clear, fair, and interesting while making the topic simple for different readers to understand.
