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.

Convert USDT to BTC with Confidence
Understanding the USDT to BTC Exchange Process
Converting USDT to BTC involves a few key steps that facilitate the swap between these two distinct cryptocurrencies. USDT, a stablecoin, aims to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US dollar, providing stability. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a decentralized digital currency known for its volatility and store-of-value properties. The exchange process essentially involves selling your USDT and simultaneously buying BTC at the prevailing market rate.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me? https://www.binance.bh/register?ref=JW3W4Y3A
Zit ik nu inmiddels een half jaar op Lalabet en ik zie er hier weinig over voorbijkomen, dus bij deze. Een collega tipte me erover, zonder echt research te doen vooraf. Het aanbod is echt aan de grote kant — zo’n 4000 spellen volgens hun eigen telling, al scroll je natuurlijk nooit alles door.
De grote namen zitten er allemaal in: Play’n GO, NetEnt, Pragmatic en Big Time Gaming. Mijn vaste rondje is meestal Book of Dead en Gates of Olympus, al vind ik de filters niet superhandig — op mobiel springt hij ook nog eens terug naar boven. Kleine irritatie.
Live casino is grotendeels Evolution, wat je terugziet in de beeldkwaliteit. Echte croupiers, Nederlandstalige tafels af en toe, en de tafellimieten lopen van een paar euro tot best hoog. Ik pakte bij Lalabet de standaard bonus, dat was 100% tot 500 euro plus 200 free spins, met 35x wagering. Niet schrikbarend voor de markt, maar geen cadeautje. Voor de details kijk je even op Lalabet Review review voordat je stort.
Aanmelden kostte me een minuut of drie, de min-deposit ligt op 10 euro. Visa en Mastercard werken prima, ik pak zelf Neteller, crypto zit er inmiddels ook bij. Mijn cashout bij Lalabet stond er de volgende ochtend op, behalve die eerste keer met de KYC-check. Dat is normaal, maar zeg het even van tevoren.
Een echte app hebben ze niet, de mobiele versie werkt alleen prima. Support heb ik twee keer nodig gehad: reactie binnen tien minuten, in het Nederlands. Licentie loopt via Curacao, dus geen KSA — dat moet je zelf afwegen als speler hier. Mijn afweging, niet per se de jouwe.
Been playing at Nonebet back in early winter of last year after a mate linked it, so this is roughly six months of actual play, not one session. The lobby’s genuinely big — somewhere around 3,000 games, with the bulk of it the usual heavyweights: Pragmatic, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Betsoft and Yggdrasil, plus a fair chunk of Big Time Gaming titles. Gates of Olympus is my default, but I keep drifting back to Sweet Bonanza the past few weeks.
The live section’s run by Evolution, which is exactly what I wanted. Actual dealers, tables open around the clock, and yeah, Crazy Time is there — Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette get busy of an evening. My gripe here is the timing — if you’re in Sydney or Melbourne, the busiest tables are aimed at Europe, so some of the low-stakes tables are dead at breakfast time.
Sign-up offer is a 100% match up to $500 with 100 spins split over the first few deposits, wagering sits at 35x on the bonus part, which is standard-ish. They also had a little no-deposit spin bundle when I joined — about 25 spins, hardly a fortune. Read the terms though: max bet while wagering is capped and I nearly tripped on it. The current promos change month to month, so have a look at details here if you’re weighing it up.
Deposits went through instantly — Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, plus Bitcoin and a couple of other coins. The minimum was $20, registration was under five minutes with the KYC done later. Withdrawals from Nonebet land same-day on Skrill, card refunds dragged to about 4 days. Cashed out about A$1,400 last month with no drama.
Mobile-wise, it’s a browser thing mostly and honestly that’s fine, the Nonebet app question comes up a lot on here and last I checked there’s no native download. Live chat is been decent, maybe 5-10 minutes for a human, the canned first response is a bit useless. It’s a Curacao licence, which isn’t AUSTRAC-anything — just go in knowing that.
Siedze na tej stronie od jakichs czterech miesiecy, wiec chyba moge cos powiedziec. Wszedlem tam z polecenia kolegi, raczej sceptycznie. Lobby w 888starz jest naprawde rozbudowane — jest tam chyba ze 5000 tytulow, przede wszystkim Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO i NetEnt. Rzeczy typu Gates of Olympus oraz Sweet Bonanza sa na pierwszym ekranie, Book of Dead tez sie znajdzie.
Nie ukrywam, siedze glownie w sekcji live. Evolution robi tam robote i sa tez polskojezyczni krupierzy, co dla mnie bylo zaskoczeniem. Crazy Time zjada mi wieczory, chociaz na mobilnym LTE czasem tnie — to moj najwiekszy zarzut.
Wracajac do bonusu — pakiet powitalny w 888starz daje 100% do pierwszej wplaty plus okolice 150 spinow. Warunek obrotu to x40, standardowo, wiec ani super, ani tragedia, tylko regulamin czytaj, bo jest limit stawki podczas obracania. Widzialem tez niewielki bonus no deposit, ale to raczej akcja czasowa. Biezace oferty sprawdzisz na 888starz kod promocyjny 2026, zanim zalozysz konto. Kod wklepujesz w formularzu rejestracji, inaczej przepada.
Rejestracja to doslownie kilka minut, minimalna wplata to jakies 20-30 zl. Place zwykle przez Skrill, dziala Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, no i Bitcoin. Pieniadze przychodza bez dramatow — na e-portfel kilka godzin, ale przelew na karte potrafi ciagnac sie dwa dni.
Weryfikacja dokumentow mnie troche zmeczyla, trwalo to dluzej niz powinno. Obsluga 888starz gada po polsku i sprawe ogarneli, choc na konsultanta czekalem chwile. Licencja Curacao — kazdy sam ocenia czy mu to wystarcza. Na telefonie chodzi bez appki, przez przegladarke, chociaz filtrowanie gier na malym ekranie to koszmar.
Bawie sie na tej stronie od jakichs trzech miesiecy i szczerze mowiac zostalem dluzej niz planowalem. Lobby w Vox Casino jest dosc obszerne — cos kolo 4000 pozycji, przynajmniej tyle naliczylem w filtrach. Siedze glownie na Pragmatic Play, takie standardy typu Sweet Bonanza i Big Bass, ale mam tez slabosc do Book of Dead od Play’n GO. Jest NetEnt, Yggdrasil i troche Microgaming, jak dla mnie w porzadku.
Na pakiet powitalny patrzylem krzywo, ale ostatecznie nie bylo zle. Dostalem doplate 100% i pakiet darmowych spinow, rozbite na kilka depozytow. Obrot czterdziestokrotny — standard w branzy, ale trzeba to wyklikac. Kod trzeba wpisac w kasie przy wplacie — zapomnialem raz i przepadlo, wiec uwazaj. Kody zwykle lapie na vox casino kody bonusowe, bo zmieniaja sie co miesiac.
Prog wejscia to jakies 50 zl, zakladanie konta to chwile. KYC trwalo u mnie ze dwa dni, bez dramatu. Wplacam Skrillem i Visa, znajomy leci na Bitcoina, u niego wyplaty sa w godzine. Wyplaty w Vox Casino wchodzily mi w 12-24h na e-portfel, karta dluzej, ze trzy dni robocze.
Teraz co mi przeszkadza. Limit wyplaty tygodniowej moglby byc wyzszy, przy wiekszej wygranej rozbijasz to na raty. Poza tym support Vox Casino w weekendy odpisuje wolniej — w tygodniu odpowiadali po polsku w 5 minut, w sobote czekalem 20. Pisza po polsku, tego nie odbieram.
Sekcja live to w wiekszosci Evolution, czyli ruletka, blackjack i te teleturnieje typu Crazy Time. Gram z komorki — osobnej aplikacji brak, przegladarka wystarcza, obraz nie tnie nawet na LTE. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao, nie MGA, ale wyplacaja, wiec nie narzekam. Gram dalej, wiec chyba to o czyms swiadczy.
Siedze na Mostbet juz od pol roku, to chyba wystarczy zeby sie wypowiedziec. Podrzucil mi to kolega z pracy, ktory zgarnal tam troche na Gates of Olympus. Wybor gier jest ogromny — podobno grubo ponad 3000 tytulow, choc szczerze to i tak grasz w te same 10. Siedza tam Pragmatic, Play’n GO, NetEnt i kawalek Betsoft, wiec Book of Dead czy Sweet Bonanza sa od reki.
Bonus powitalny wynosi 100% do 1400 zl i 250 darmowych spinow, ale wymagany obrot to 60-krotnosc i tu sie robi ciezko. Minimalny depozyt to 20 zl, wiec prog wejscia niski. Warto wczesniej sprawdzic aktualne kody na Mostbet kody promocyjne 2026 – jak zweryfikować konto i odebrać bonus powitalny, bo raz na jakis czas wyskakuje lepszy wariant. Nie gnalbym z tym obrotem — kilka razy przepalilem bonus przez pospiech.
Live jest mocna strona. Evolution robi tam robote — Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, blackjacki. Krupierzy prawdziwi, jakosc obrazu spoko, choc w godzinach szczytu czasem trzeba poczekac na miejsce. Stolu po polsku niestety brak, co dla czesci osob moze byc minusem.
Wyplaty w Mostbet leci szybko, u mnie srednio 3-5 godzin. Ostatnia zgarnalem po 4 godzinach przelewem. Visa, Mastercard, portfele elektroniczne i krypto — wszystko jest. Jedyny zgrzyt to KYC — dzien z kawalkiem zanim przyjeli skan.
Na telefonie chodzi to calkiem sprawnie na Androidzie, na iOS tez ludzie chwala, choc raz po update musialem sie dwa razy logowac. Czat w Mostbet odpowiada po polsku, zwykle czekam z 5 minut. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao, wiec bez cudow, ale kase wyplacaja i to najwazniejsze.
