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.

Siedze tu od pol roku mniej wiecej, wiec chyba moge cos napisac. Trafilem tu przez kumpla, ktory wczesniej siedzial na innym serwisie. Biblioteka gier na 888starz mocno mnie zaskoczyla — jakies 6000 tytulow, choc umowmy sie polowy nigdy nie odpalisz. Play’n GO, Pragmatic i Yggdrasil dominuja, Gates of Olympus i Book of Dead wisza w topce.
Bonus powitalny to 100% od wplaty z dorzuconymi 50 darmowymi spinami. Przy zakladaniu konta z kodem warunki sa odrobine lepsze. Tylko uwazajcie na jedno — warunki obrotu to x35-x40, a na to masz raptem tydzien. Sam sie na tym przejechalem. Swieze kody na 2026 wisza na 888starz zanim sie zarejestrujecie.
Kasa startuja od jakichs 20 zlotych, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller — wszystko jest. Osobiscie wole BTC bo idzie najszybciej. Wyplaty w 888starz na portfele przychodzi w kilka godzin, natomiast przelew na karte to juz loteria czasowa. Dokumenty trzeba wrzucic — u mnie zeszlo jakies 12 godzin.
Kasyno na zywo stoi na Evolution i to widac po jakosci. Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, blackjack — krupierzy realni, jakosc obrazu ok. Polskojezycznych stolow jest jednak malo. Z komorki gram najczesciej i nie ma zaciec, dostepna jest appka, ale ja jej nie uzywam.
Czat na 888starz jest po polsku i to nie brzmi jak automat. Raz czekalem kwadrans, zwykle szybciej. Papiery maja z Curacao, co nie kazdemu podpasuje. Ja sie tym nie przejmuje, ale kazdy niech oceni sam.
This post has a really good friendly style that makes the discussion feel more authentic and enjoyable, while also helping readers connect with the topic without feeling overwhelmed by too much unnecessary complexity or detail.

Zagladam tu regularnie od jakichs pieciu miesiecy, wiec mam jakies zdanie. Polecil mi to kumpel, z ktorym gadamy o slotach, z lekkim dystansem. Lobby w Vox Casino liczy grubo ponad dwa tysiace tytulow — Pragmatic, NetEnt, Play’n GO plus troche Betsoftu sa na miejscu, klasyki typu Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza sa na pierwszej stronie.
Osobiscie najczesciej siedze przy stolach na zywo. Evolution ciagnie tam praktycznie wszystko, obraz nie tnie nawet wieczorem. Na Crazy Time potrafie posiedziec za dlugo, choc realnie to loteria z ladna oprawa. Polskojezycznych krupierow jednak brak, co dla czesci osob z Polski bedzie problemem.
Bonus powitalny w Vox Casino to doplata do depozytu plus pakiet darmowych spinow rozbity na kilka dni, a spiny leca partiami przez piec dni, nie wszystkie naraz. Obrot ustawiony na x40 — ani rewelacja, ani skandal, po prostu rynkowa srednia. Minimalna wplata to 40 zl, zakladanie konta poszlo ekspresowo. Czy jakis kod jeszcze dziala, weryfikuje na https://pro-systemsusa.com/vox-casino-darmowe-kody-bez-depozytu-2026-kroki-i-metody-aktywacji, bo czesc starych ofert juz wygasla. Bez kodu wpisanego przy wplacie bonus po prostu nie wskoczy.
Kasa schodzi u nich calkiem sprawnie. E-portfele przychodza tego samego dnia, przelew na Visa/Mastercard potrafi sie ciagnac dwa-trzy dni robocze. Bitcoin obsluguja, sprawdzalem raz, i to akurat najszybsza opcja. Proces weryfikacji w Vox Casino poszedl bez wiekszych problemow, choc nie od razu — chcieli dowod i potwierdzenie adresu, to normalne przy licencji Curacao.
Czego mi brakuje — apki mobilnej nadal nie zrobili. Strona na telefonie dziala calkiem znosnie, ale szukanie konkretnego slota na malym ekranie to meka. Support Vox Casino gada po polsku, co doceniam, czekalem gora piec minut, natomiast noca jakosc odpowiedzi spada. Ogolnie gram dalej, choc bez euforii.
Gram tu od jakichs czterech miesiecy, wiec wypada sie podzielic. Trafilem tam z polecenia kolegi, bo znudzilo mi sie bez wiecznych problemow z wyplatami. Wybor slotow robi wrazenie — jakies 3500 automatow, choc polowy z tego nigdy nie odpale. Pragmatic, NetEnt oraz Betsoft dominuja, sa oczywiscie Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead.
Na start w Fiery Play daja doplata 100% do 1200 zl razem z 200 darmowych spinow, wydawanych po kilka dni. Wymog obrotu wynosi x35, czyli znosne, ale zerknijcie na limity — maksymalny zaklad przy obrocie jest ograniczony o czym nikt nie krzyczy. Dorzucali tez kod bez depozytu na 25 darmowych obrotow, ale nie wiem czy dalej dziala. Biezace oferty widac na fiery play kasyno jak was to interesuje.
Rejestracja zajela mi jakies dwie minuty, najnizsza wplata zaczyna sie od 40 zl. Wplacam BLIKiem albo karta, wyjscia z kasa robilem trzy razy — raz zeszlo pol dnia, raz czekalem dwoch dni, bo weryfikacja dokumentow. Da sie tez krypto i podobno tam idzie najszybciej.
Wieczorami siedze glownie na zywo — Evolution robi tam stoly, czesc krupierow mowi po polsku, czego sie nie spodziewalem. Crazy Time tez maja, ale to loteria, nie strategia. Ruletka i blackjack tez stoja otworem.
Nie ma osobnej aplikacji, ale strona na telefonie i szczerze — nie brakuje mi jej, choc przy slabszym zasiegu transmisja lubi sie ciac. Maja papiery z Curacao, co nie jest MGA, wiadomo — u mnie kasa zawsze przyszla. Obsluga w Fiery Play odpowiada po polsku zwykle w kilka minut. To co mi najbardziej przeszkadza zalew maili z promkami — wylaczylem w ustawieniach i spokoj.
Bazzico su sti giochi da qualche mese e onestamente quella benedetta ruota mi ha regalato piu soddisfazioni di quanto immaginassi. Non sono certo uno da puntate folli, normalmente piazzo 3-4 euro a giro e tanto basta. Il lobby che trovi su Crazy Time e ben fornito: si parla di 2000 e rotti macchinette contando Pragmatic Play, NetEnt e Play’n GO, per cui i classiconi del calibro di Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza e Book of Dead sono li al loro posto.
La parte live e roba di Evolution e si vede. Croupier veri, con tavoli in italiano nelle ore di punta, e i vari game show sono quelli dove butto la maggior parte del tempo. Di tanto in tanto mi guardo lo storico dei round bonus prima di iniziare, piu che altro per scaramanzia.
La promo d’ingresso che ti da Crazy Time al momento gira intorno al 100% fino a 300€ piu anche 200 giri gratis, distribuiti su piu giorni. Ti danno anche un piccolo no deposit dopo la verifica dei documenti. Il wagering sta a 35x, che non e regalato, per cui occhio ai termini: si trovano i dettagli aggiornati su Crazy Time prima di registrarti.
Sui prelievi ho poco da dire. Sono andato di Skrill e una volta Neteller e i soldi arrivano in mezza giornata circa, con Mastercard ci vogliono 3 giorni buoni. Accettano anche crypto, anche se io resto sui bonifici classici. Si parte da 10 euro, l’iscrizione rapida. Quello che proprio non mi e piaciuto e stata la fase documenti: prima foto rifiutata senza spiegazioni per un motivo assurdo.
L’assistenza che trovi su Crazy Time parla italiano ed e gia qualcosa, anche se di notte i tempi si allungano. Da telefono il sito va bene dal browser, un’applicazione dedicata c’e per Android va, ma preferisco il sito. Sulla licenza Malta Gaming Authority, quindi non e concessione italiana, e va saputo prima. Io intanto resto, senza aspettarmi miracoli.
Siedze tu jakies piec miesiace, wiec chyba moge cos napisac. Trafilem przez znajomego z innego forum, szukajac czegos bez tysiaca klonow tego samego slota. Na dzien dobry widac, ze automatow jest naprawde sporo — gdzies 3000 tytulow, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i garsc Yggdrasil. Standardy typu Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead sa, ale nie ukrywam siedze glownie na Big Bass.
Bonus powitalny w Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny wyglada tak: 100 procent do 2000 zl plus 100 darmowych spinow, rozbite na kilka pierwszych wplat. Wager to x40, czyli norma, choc przeczytajcie regulamin — jest tam limit zakladu 6 zl w trakcie odgrywania i kilka osob juz sie na tym przejechalo. Kod wbijalem przy rejestracji, bo pozniej juz go nie doklepiesz.
Jak ktos chce sprawdzic aktualne kody, najprosciej zerknac do fair play casino kod promocyjny zanim wplacicie pierwsza stowe, bo oferty sie zmieniaja dosc szybko. Widzialem tez darmowe spiny bez wplaty, ale nie zawsze sa dostepne.
Kasyno na zywo to glownie Evolution — ruletki z polskimi krupierami bywaja w prime time, do tego Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette i ten caly Monopoly Live. Stoly sa od 2 zl, wiec mozna pograc bez wielkiego banku. To co mnie denerwuje to w weekendy streamy sie przycinaja na mobilnym LTE.
Wyplaty z Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny wychodza przyzwoicie: Neteller i portfele w kilka godzin, karta potrafi ciagnac sie 2-3 dni, BTC najszybciej. Minimalny depozyt to 40 zl, rejestracja zajmuje doslownie minute, ale KYC przy pierwszej wyplacie zajela mi dobe — skan dowodu plus potwierdzenie adresu. Papiery z Curacao, czyli standard w tym segmencie, ale przelew doszedl bez zbednych pytan.
Obsluga na Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny odpowiada po polsku przez czat, odpowiedz w jakies kilka minut, bez kopiuj-wklej. Dedykowanej apki nie ma, ale strona mobilna dziala dobrze na moim telefonie. Nie jest to idealu, ale siedze dalej i do tej pory nie mialem realnych problemow z kasa.
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in our community. Your blog provided us with valuable information to work on|.You have done a marvellous job!
Been using Single Bet Calculator since around February, mostly late at night on the sofa, so make of that what you will. Found it after a mate mentioned it, not an ad.
The lobby is pretty big — roughly 4,000 games if the counter is honest. NetEnt stuff dominates, so Sweet Bonanza and all the standards all show up. I tend to live on Betsoft games since the maths feels fairer to me. One gripe — Single Bet Calculator’s search bar is genuinely poor, filters half work.
Live section is powered by Evolution, which is fine by me. Actual dealers, the stream holds up on 4G, and Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette is where I lose most of my money, honestly. Fair to note the British side is well covered in the evenings. If you’re weighing up the promos it’s worth a look at https://spendoraudio.pl/2026/08/28/accumulator-odds-calculator-overview-and-options instead of trusting a random forum post.
Bonus-wise on Single Bet Calculator is ?100 matched plus 100 spins on Book of Dead. Wagering is 35x which is standard-ish. They also ran 20 no deposit spins on verification. ?10 minimum, same as everywhere, sign-up took me maybe five minutes, KYC took a day.
Cashouts are decent. Visa and Mastercard take 2-3 days, e-wallets were same-day for me, and Bitcoin is quickest if you use it. Pulled ?180 out on Tuesday no silly document requests. The live chat on Single Bet Calculator took ten minutes once, three another time — copy-paste at first but fine after. Licence is UKGC, so at least there’s a complaints route. There’s no app on the Play Store, which is mildly annoying but the site works fine.
Been using Nonebet for maybe four months now, mainly late nights, and figured I’d dump some thoughts since a few blokes here asked. Getting an account took no time — email and a password, that’s it, although the KYC bit showed up when I went to cash out, which every licensed site does anyway. Minimum was around $10 which is fair.
The lobby’s big — I’d guess around 3,000 games last I looked. Play’n GO dominates, so Gates of Olympus, Big Bass, the usual suspects get pushed hard. I tend to grind the Megaways stuff when I want longer sessions. Microgaming classics are in there too. Live dealer side runs on Evolution, so you get real croupiers, roulette running 24/7 and Crazy Time and Monopoly Live if that’s your thing.
Bonus-wise the offer when I joined was 100% up to $500 plus 100 free spins, wagering was 40x which honestly is standard for AU-facing sites, not generous. They also had a small no deposit thing for a while but it comes and goes. Offers rotate a lot so have a look at Backloggd profile before you claim anything. The one thing that annoyed me is the $5 max bet cap during bonus play — breached it once without noticing and lost the lot. My fault, but still.
Withdrawals have been pretty quick. Crypto came back within a couple of hours every time I’ve done it, Skrill and Neteller were about a day, but the Visa one dragged out to three business days which is the slow lane. Funding is instant via card, Skrill, Neteller or crypto.
Support got back to me in about five minutes at midnight, not just a bot loop after the first canned reply. No app for Nonebet that I’ve found — it’s a browser thing, but it runs fine on my Android. It’s a Curacao licence, which isn’t the ACMA, obviously, make of that what you will for us down here.
