TT Talk – The IMB NVOCC Register
Reducing bills of lading risks
While there may be valid trading reasons that give rise to bill of lading difficulties, there is an unhealthy under-belly of criminal activity.
TT Talk canvassed some trading issues relating to bills of lading in the December 2018 edition. Reference within those articles was made to the English law position articulated in Motis Exports case1, explaining the risk exposure to bill of lading issuers and stakeholders relying on the documentation. This article applies to the industry vulnerability to fraudulent activity.
Banking scrutiny
The International Chamber of Commerce’s Commercial Crime Services division has a primary function of protect the integrity of international trade by seeking out fraud and malpractice and providing reports based on this activitiy to its members.
Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli.
Commercial banks commence thousands of investigations each year in relation to fraudulent bills of lading which are undertaken by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), a division of CCS. Through 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. This supports banks in relation to their compliance procedures to prevent fraud, money laundering and sanctions breaches.
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.
It is recognised that NVOCCs and freight forwarders play a vital role in international trade and whilst the majority operate to extremely high standards, there are inevitably those who for a variety of reasons may deliberately or recklessly issue bills of lading with false content. It is important that safeguards are in place to ensure the security of bills of lading and that there are systems in place to track any misuse.
As a result of recent trends involving bill of lading fraud and a growing concern of their stakeholders, the IMB developed a new initiative, unveiled at Enterprise, Singapore on 15 January 2019, during a panel discussion on the manipulation of bills of lading attended by over 100 delegates from banks, logistics companies and lawyers. The primary objective is to provide a common open platform from which to improve anti-fraud standards and to give due recognition to participating NVOCCs who adhere to the minimum standards established within the platform.
NVOCC vulnerability
"IMB estimates that over 95% of all improperly issued bills of lading are issued by NVOCCs."
From this work, IMB estimates that over 95% of all improperly issued bills of lading are issued by NVOCCs. This is a staggering finding, albeit relating to a small percentage of the total transactions, but a clear indicator of the vulnerability of some elements of the NVOCC sector.
Announcing IMB NVOCC register
“Maintaining the integrity of the bill of lading is of paramount importance to all stakeholders in global trade”
TT Club believes that this initiative to improve standards and reduce potential exposures to fraudulent activity through the supply chain is beneficial to the industry and would therefore encourage its NVOCC membership to evaluate the platform and consider participation in it.
We gratefully acknowledge the assistance in the preparation of this article of Pottengal Mukundan, Director, International Maritime Bureau, ICC-Commercial Crime Services
The initiative introduces an open source NVOCC register in conjunction with a new IMB Code of Conduct which all participating NVOCCs are required to adopt. The Code of Conduct is supported by an online training course which sets out minimum standards for the issuance of NVOCC bills of lading. Participating NVOCCs remain accountable where a document they have issued is found to be fraudulent, however it is anticipated that a wider knowledge of good practice will result in fewer cases of fraud being identified.
Maintaining the integrity of the bill of lading is of paramount importance to all stakeholders in global trade. Where fraudulent activity is allowed to continue, there is a real danger that key stakeholders de-value the worth of the bill of lading. Inevitably, should the industry not be able to address commercially the challenge presented by the use of fraudulent documents, there is a risk that regulations may be required. This initiative recognises and seeks to address this industry wide challenge, seeking to promote awareness and support compliance with acceptable trade practices.

Gram tu od jakichs czterech miesiecy, wiec chyba moge cos napisac. Trafilem tu przez kumpla, ktory wczesniej obstawial gdzie indziej. Wybor gier w 888starz jest ogromny — jakies 6000 tytulow, choc szczerze mowiac i tak grasz w te same 10 gier. Play’n GO, Pragmatic i Yggdrasil dominuja, Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza wisza w topce.
Oferta na start to standardowo 100% do pierwszego depozytu plus jakies 30 free spinow. Przy zakladaniu konta z kodem czasem podbijaja pule. Natomiast jedna rzecz mnie wkurzyla — obrot bonusem to x40, a na to masz raptem tydzien. Za pierwszym razem mi przepadlo. Aktualne kody mozna podejrzec na 888starz obrót bonusem jesli ktos chce porownac.
Depozyty schodza od 20 zl, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller — wszystko jest. Ja wyplacam w krypto bo schodzi w kilkanascie minut. Wyplaty w 888starz na e-wallet leci tego samego dnia, natomiast przelew na karte to juz loteria czasowa. Weryfikacja KYC to standard — u mnie zeszlo jakies 12 godzin.
Live to w wiekszosci Evolution i to widac po jakosci. Crazy Time i Monopoly Live — obraz nie tnie nawet na LTE. Brakuje polskiego krupiera, to minus. Mobilnie dziala bez zarzutu, jest tez apka na Androida.
Support 888starz odpowiada po polsku choc czasem widac kalki jezykowe. Odpowiedz przychodzi w kilka minut. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao, co dla czesci osob bedzie minusem. Dla mnie liczy sie ze placa, ale trzeba miec to z tylu glowy.

Ogrywam sie tu od pol roku, to chyba moge sie wypowiedziec. Znalazlem to szukajac czegos z normalna obsluga po polsku, raczej sceptycznie. Kolekcja gier w Vox Casino robi wrazenie rozmiarem — Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, Play’n GO i Big Time Gaming to podstawa, wiec Gates of Olympus czy Book of Dead odpalisz bez szukania.
Glownie zostaje w dziale z krupierami. Za live odpowiada Evolution i to czuc, obraz nie tnie nawet wieczorem. Crazy Time to moja zguba, choc realnie to loteria z ladna oprawa. Polskojezycznych krupierow jednak brak, co dla czesci osob z Polski bedzie problemem.
Pakiet startowy w Vox Casino to 100% do jakichs 1500 zl plus 200 obrotow, przy czym free spiny dostajesz porcjami, nie hurtem. Wager to x40 z bonusu — do przerobienia, jesli grasz spokojnie. Wejsc mozna od 40 zl, zakladanie konta poszlo ekspresowo. Aktualne kody promocyjne zawsze sprawdzam na vox casino kod bonusowy, zanim wplace cokolwiek. Bez kodu wpisanego przy wplacie bonus po prostu nie wskoczy.
Wyplacanie nie jest jakos dramatycznie wolne. E-portfele przychodza tego samego dnia, na Mastercard czekalem dwa dni. Bitcoin obsluguja, sprawdzalem raz, to chyba najszybszy kanal. Proces weryfikacji w Vox Casino zajal mi dwa dni — standardowy komplet dokumentow, ale to kazdy licencjonowany operator robi.
Gdybym mial sie do czegos przyczepic — brak dedykowanej apki na Androida. Mobilna wersja chodzi plynnie, jednak filtry gier na komorce sa tragiczne. Support Vox Casino odpowiada po polsku, czekalem gora piec minut, w nocy bywa gorzej. Grac tam da sie spokojnie, byle z glowa i limitem na koncie.
Klikam tu od jakichs dwa miesiace, wiec moge juz cos sensownego napisac. Trafilem przez znajomego z innego forum, szukajac czegos z sensownym lobby. Na dzien dobry widac, ze automatow jest duzo — cos kolo 3500 pozycji, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i troche Yggdrasil. Standardy typu Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead sa, ale nie ukrywam najwiecej czasu spedzam na Big Bass.
Pakiet powitalny na Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny wyglada tak: 100 procent do 2500 zl plus 150 free spinow, rozlozone na kilka pierwszych wplat. Wager wynosi x35, co jest norma, ale przeczytajcie regulamin — siedzi tam limit zakladu 5 zl przy odgrywaniu i kilka osob sie o to potknelo. Promo wpisywalem w formularzu rejestracji, bo pozniej juz go nie doklepiesz.
Jesli ktos szuka porownac obecne promocje, to najlepiej zajrzec do fair play kod bonusowy zanim zalozycie konto, bo oferty sie zmieniaja dosc szybko. Widzialem tez promki bez depozytu, tylko ze trzeba je zlapac.
Live jest ogarniete — ruletki po polsku sa wieczorami, do tego Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette i ten caly Monopoly Live. Limity zaczynaja sie od 1 zl, wiec mozna pograc bez wielkiego banku. Minus ze czasem ladowanie stolu potrafi trwac na komorce.
Wyplaty w Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny wychodza calkiem sprawnie: Skrill i e-portfele tego samego dnia, karta juz 2-3 dni robocze, BTC doslownie w kilkanascie minut. Minimalna wplata to 60 zl, rejestracja to dwie minuty, ale KYC przy pierwszej wyplacie trwala dobe — skan dowodu plus rachunek za prad. Licencja curacaowska, czyli nic nadzwyczajnego, ale przelew doszedl bez cyrkow.
Support w Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny odpowiada po polsku przez czat, odpowiedz w okolo kilka minut, bez kopiuj-wklej. Dedykowanej apki nie ma, jednak wersja przegladarkowa dziala dobrze na moim telefonie. Daleko temu do idealu, ale gram dalej i jak na razie nie mialem realnych problemow z kasa.
Been signed up at Single Bet Calculator for the best part of a year, mostly late at night on the sofa, so make of that what you will. Found it through a mate, wasn’t an ad.
The game selection is frankly enormous — around 2,500 titles last time I counted. Pragmatic Play is everywhere, so Gates of Olympus and all the standards are all there. I mostly stick to Betsoft games since the maths feels fairer to me. One gripe — searching for a specific slot at Single Bet Calculator is more faff than it should be, you often have to scroll.
The live dealer bit is almost entirely Evolution, no complaints there. Proper human dealers, no lag issues on my broadband, and Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette is rammed on a Friday. Should mention the UK tables are properly staffed in the evenings. If you’re weighing up the promos I’d have a nose at free bet calculator single rather than taking my word for it.
Welcome offer from Single Bet Calculator came as a 100% match to ?150 with 50 spins. Rollover is 35x which is about par these days. I also got a ?5 no deposit token when I registered. Minimum is a tenner, the form was short enough, KYC took a day.
Payouts are decent. Visa and Mastercard are the slow ones, Skrill and Neteller hit in a few hours, and crypto clears fastest. Pulled ?180 out on Tuesday no silly document requests. Single Bet Calculator’s support answered in about four minutes — human, not a bot script. Licence is UKGC, which matters more than the bonus size. No standalone app, the browser version does the job.
Bazzico su sti giochi da un annetto e onestamente la ruota mi ha portato piu soddisfazioni di quanto pensassi. Non sono certo uno da puntate folli, in genere butto un paio di euro a spin e tanto basta. Il lobby di Crazy Time e parecchio ricco: fra le 1800 circa slot varie mettendo dentro NetEnt, Play’n GO e Pragmatic, quindi i classiconi del calibro di Book of Dead e Gates of Olympus ci sono tutti.
Il comparto live e gestita da Evolution e la differenza si sente. Dealer in carne e ossa, con qualche tavolo italiano nelle ore di punta, e gli show tipo Monopoly Live sono quelli dove butto quasi tutte le serate. Qualche volta controllo le stats dei bonus prima di entrare, piu che altro per scaramanzia.
La promo d’ingresso che ti da Crazy Time in questo periodo e del 100% fino a 500€ piu anche 100 giri gratis, distribuiti su piu giorni. Esiste anche un no deposit da 10€ se verifichi i documenti. Il wagering e sui 35x, che non e regalato, meglio leggersi il regolamento: puoi trovare le condizioni complete direttamente su Crazy Time Italian – Giochi da casinò live nel 2026: guida pratica prima di registrarti.
Sul fronte pagamenti ho poco da dire. Uso Skrill e i soldi arrivano entro le 24 ore, con la carta ci vogliono 2-3 giorni. C’e anche Bitcoin, ma non le ho provate. Il minimo per depositare 20€, l’iscrizione in tre minuti. La cosa che mi ha dato fastidio e stata la verifica: mi hanno rifiutato la bolletta due volte per una sciocchezza.
L’assistenza su Crazy Time risponde in italiano il che non e scontato, pero nelle ore piccole ci vuole pazienza. Su mobile il sito va bene dal browser, l’applicazione c’e per Android va, ma preferisco il sito. Licenza Malta Gaming Authority, quindi non e concessione italiana, e va saputo prima. Io intanto vado avanti, con la testa a posto.
Obstawiam u nich od zeszlej zimy, glownie sloty, wiec podziele sie wrazeniami. W 888starz katalog gier jest spory — gdzies ze 3000 tytulow, choc spora czesc to podobne do siebie klony. Pragmatic Play dominuje — klasyki typu Gates of Olympus sa oblegane, ale mam tez slabosc do Book of Dead. Znalazlem sporo Yggdrasil i BTG jesli ktos woli ostrzejsze gry.
Sekcja live jedzie na Evolution, wiec wiadomo czego sie spodziewac. Prawdziwi krupierzy, sa nawet polskojezyczne stoly, Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette sa chyba najbardziej oblegane wieczorami. Minus — stream lubi przyciac przy gorszym wifi, ale to raczej moja wina niz ich.
Startowy bonus w 888starz wynosi 100% do okolo 1500 zl i 150 darmowych spinow, podzielone na pare pierwszych wplat. Obrot x35 i powiem wprost — to trzeba odrobic. Dostalem kiedys kilkadziesiat spinow bez wplaty za sama rejestracje, z czego nic wielkiego nie wyszlo. Aktualne kody i promki mozna sprawdzic na 888starz – bonus bez depozytu i przewodnik po bezpieczeństwie jak ktos chce porownac. Wplacic mozna od okolo 20 zl, rejestracja zajmuje doslownie minute, z tym ze dokumenty warto wrzucic na starcie.
Kasa z wyplat sa ok, bez dramatow. Skrill i Neteller wchodzi mi tego samego dnia, karta Visa czy Mastercard to juz dwa-trzy dni. Krypto dziala najlepiej — ostatnio wyplacalem w USDT i bylo po 20 minutach. Obsluga 888starz gada po polsku, odpowiedz zwykle w pare minut, chociaz zdarzyl sie jeden gosc odpowiadajacy szablonami.
Glownie klikam z komorki — wersja przegladarkowa jest lekka, do tego wypuscili 888 starz app. Wzialem apke na 888starz android bo szybciej sie odpala, dziala stabilnie. Uwaga na marginesie — po sieci krazy cos w stylu 888starz apk mod, nie dotykajcie tego, sciagajcie tylko z oficjalnego zrodla. Licencja Curacao — nie jest to unijna, kto gra z Polski, ten wie jak to wyglada.
