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.

Ben een paar maanden geleden bij Lalabet begonnen en eerlijk gezegd was ik best sceptisch. De lobby is gewoon dik in orde: zo’n 2500 tot 3000 games als ik het goed heb geteld. Pragmatic, Yggdrasil en NetEnt domineren wel een beetje, en de usual suspects a la Gates of Olympus en Book of Dead vind je zonder zoeken.
Waar ik de meeste tijd verlies is de live-sectie. Die tafels draaien op Evolution en dat scheelt echt: live dealers waarvan er een paar Nederlands praten, en natuurlijk Crazy Time voor de gekkigheid. Streams lopen soepel, zelfs op mobiel data.
Wat betreft dat welkomstpakket: je krijgt 100% tot 500 euro plus 200 free spins, en 50 gratis spins zonder dat je iets stort. Je moet het 35 keer rondspelen, wat niet geweldig maar ook niet schandalig is. Ik had de voorwaarden vooraf doorgespit, de achtergrond van de club vind je op https://tumblr.com/soldkryptohub/824774992735731712 mocht je het willen nakijken. Registreren zelf duurt geen twee minuten en je kunt al vanaf 10 euro los.
Je kunt met iDEAL, Visa/Mastercard of e-wallets als Skrill en Neteller terecht, en crypto kan ook, Bitcoin en Litecoin. Mijn cashout bij Lalabet was na anderhalve dag binnen, behalve die ene keer, toen was het vier dagen. Dat vond ik wel jammer: de KYC-check sleepte een paar dagen, maar daarna was het geen gedoe meer.
Hulp krijg je via de livechat, meestal reageert er binnen een paar minuten iemand. Bij Lalabet werd ik netjes in het Nederlands geholpen, al moest ik een keer twee keer uitleggen wat ik bedoelde. Een echte app is er niet, maar de mobiele site werkt gewoon fijn dus dat mis ik eigenlijk niet.
De vergunning komt van Curacao, dus niet onder de Nederlandse KSA — dat weet je dan. Bij mij is er in al die maanden niks misgegaan met uitbetalingen, maar ik speel dan ook met bedragen die ik kan missen.
Siedze na Mostbecie jakies pol roku, przewaznie sloty, od czasu do czasu cos z live. Trafilem tam przez kumpla, specjalnie sie nie nastawialem. Biblioteka gier jest calkiem obszerny — w okolicach 3 tysiecy pozycji, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Yggdrasil. Gates of Olympus odpalam najczesciej, ale od miesiaca ogrywam nowsze rzeczy z Yggdrasil.
Minus, ktory musze wypisac to wyszukiwarka — potrafi zwrocic bzdury. Pomijajac to jest ok. Live casino jedzie na Evolution i w tym miejscu nie ma sie do czego przyczepic — stoly blackjacka z polskojezycznym krupierem bywaja, a Monopoly Live wciaga bardziej niz wiekszosc automatow.
Pakiet powitalny w Mostbet to 125% od wplaty i do tego paczka 250 spinow, nie wszystko naraz. Wagering wynosi x60, wiec bez cudow, minimalna wplata okolo 20 zlotych. Jesli szukasz aktualnych kodow, to zajrzyj na Mostbet przed pierwsza wplata. Rejestracja trwala dwie minuty, potwierdzenie dokumentow jeden dzien.
Wyplacam glownie Skrillem, schodzi w pol dnia. Na Visa/Mastercard schodzilo dwa dni, BTC ponoc idzie najszybciej, nie testowalem osobiscie. Jest tez Neteller, oraz e-portfele.
Czat w Mostbet jest po polsku, chociaz zdarza sie drewniany jezyk. Raz mialem problem z zaliczeniem obrotu — zalatwili to dosc sprawnie. Licencja Curacao, czyli nie MGA, trzeba wiedziec. Aplikacja mobilna dziala bez zarzutu, tylko ze instalka na iPhone to lekka gimnastyka.
Gram tu juz jakies pol roku, w zasadzie same automaty, wiec moge cos napisac. Lobby w 888starz jest naprawde duze — grubo ponad 3000 automatow, z czego polowa to pewnie klony. Pragmatic Play ciagnie wiekszosc — klasyki typu Gates of Olympus chodza non stop, choc osobiscie wole Book of Dead. Jest tez Yggdrasil i Big Time Gaming dla lubiacych mocniejsza wariancje.
Kasyno live obsluguje Evolution, wiec wiadomo czego sie spodziewac. Realni krupierzy, sa nawet polskojezyczne stoly, te wszystkie teleturnieje typu Crazy Time wieczorem ciezko usiasc. Minus — czasem klatkuje na slabszym necie, ale to raczej moja wina niz ich.
Powitalny pakiet w 888starz to 100% do jakichs 1500 zl plus 150 free spinow, rozbite na kilka depozytow. Warunek obrotu x35 i powiem wprost — to trzeba odrobic. Byl tez maly bonus bez depozytu za sama rejestracje, z czego nic wielkiego nie wyszlo. Swieze promocje sa opisane w 888starz android jak ktos chce porownac. Minimalny depozyt w okolicach 20-25 zl, konto zakladasz w chwile, tylko KYC lepiej ogarnac od razu.
Cashouty schodza u nich calkiem sprawnie. Skrill zwykle tego samego wieczora, przelew na karte potrafi isc 2-3 dni robocze. Platnosci krypto sa najwygodniejsze — BTC mialem na portfelu w pol godziny. Support w 888starz odpowiada po polsku, zwykle czekam 3-5 minut na konsultanta, chociaz zdarzyl sie jeden gosc odpowiadajacy szablonami.
Glownie klikam z komorki — strona mobilna dziala plynnie, dodatkowo dostepna jest aplikacja na androida. Zainstalowalem, glownie dla powiadomien, dziala stabilnie. Jedna uwaga — po sieci krazy cos w stylu 888starz apk mod, omijajcie szerokim lukiem, tylko oficjalna wersja. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao — nie jest to unijna, kazdy sam ocenia czy mu to pasuje.
