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.

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.
Been playing at Nonebet for maybe four months now, mainly late nights, and might as well dump some thoughts since someone asked me the other day. Signup was painless — email, password, done, though the ID verification hit me later, which every licensed site does anyway. Minimum was $10 which is fair.
Game selection is huge — they claim over 4,000 titles from memory. NetEnt dominates, so Gates of Olympus, Big Bass, the usual suspects are sitting right on the front page. I tend to grind Yggdrasil and Betsoft titles when I’m not chasing. NetEnt classics are in there too. The live section is Evolution-powered, which means actual dealers, roulette running 24/7 and Crazy Time which I watch more than I play.
The welcome deal was 100% up to $500 plus 100 free spins, wagering was 35x which 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 check the current ones on Nonebet Casino Portal rather than trusting my numbers. What did get on my nerves is the $5 max bet cap during bonus play — breached it once without noticing and the balance got voided. My fault, but still.
Withdrawals have been fine, mostly. Bitcoin withdrawals landed in under an hour every time I’ve done it, e-wallets took 24 hours or so, but the Visa one dragged out to three business days which felt long. Funding is instant via card, Skrill, Neteller or crypto.
Their live chat answered me at 2am, actual humans after the first canned reply. Nonebet doesn’t have a proper app that I’ve found — it’s a browser thing, works well enough on the Android. Licensed out of Curacao, so not local regulation, make of that what you will for us down here.
Siedze na Mostbet od zeszlej jesieni, przewaznie sloty, czasem cos z live. Wpadlem tam bo kolega z pracy gadal o tym, bez wiekszych oczekiwan. Katalog jest spory — gdzies 3000 gier, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Yggdrasil. Gates of Olympus odpalam najczesciej, chociaz w ostatnich tygodniach ogrywam te megaways od BTG.
Jedna rzecz mnie denerwuje to wyszukiwarka — gubi tytuly przy literowce. Ale ogolnie jakos zyje. Dzial z krupierami jedzie na Evolution i w tym miejscu nie ma sie do czego przyczepic — stoliki z polskojezycznym krupierem bywaja, a Crazy Time i Lightning Roulette oglada sie lepiej niz wiekszosc automatow.
Bonus powitalny na Mostbet to 125% od wplaty i do tego paczka 250 spinow, rozbite na kilka dni. Warunek obrotu wynosi x60, czyli standard, ale nie prezent, minimalna wplata okolo 20 zlotych. Gdyby ktos potrzebowal swiezych ofert, to mozna sprawdzic Mostbet zanim zalozysz konto. Rejestracja zajela mi jakies 3 minuty, weryfikacja niecala dobe.
Kase wyciagam glownie Skrillem, schodzi w pol dnia. Na Visa/Mastercard schodzilo jakies 48h, BTC ponoc idzie najszybciej, nie testowalem osobiscie. Neteller tez jest, plus standardowe przelewy.
Czat w Mostbet jest po polsku, ale zdarza sie drewniany jezyk. Zdarzyl mi sie zgrzyt przy free spinach — rozwiazali tego samego dnia. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao, czyli nie MGA, trzeba wiedziec. Apka na Androida dziala bez zarzutu, tylko ze instalka na iPhone to lekka gimnastyka.
Ik zit nu een maandje of vier bij Lalabet en niet gelogen was ik best sceptisch. De lobby is gewoon dik in orde: zo’n 2500 tot 3000 games voor zover ik kan zien. NetEnt, Play’n GO en Pragmatic zijn goed vertegenwoordigd, en de usual suspects zoals Book of Dead, Sweet Bonanza en Gates of Olympus vind je zonder zoeken.
Waar ik eigenlijk vooral zit is de live-sectie. Die tafels draaien op Evolution en dat scheelt echt: echte croupiers die af en toe Nederlands spreken, plus Crazy Time en Lightning Roulette. Beeldkwaliteit is prima, ook op 4G in de trein.
Even over het bonusgedeelte: je krijgt 100% tot 500 euro plus 200 free spins, en er zijn 50 spins zonder storting. Je moet het 35 keer rondspelen, wat niet geweldig maar ook niet schandalig is. Ik had de voorwaarden vooraf doorgespit, meer daarover staat op Lalabet Review als je twijfelt. Het aanmelden kostte me een minuut of drie en je kunt al vanaf 10 euro los.
Betalingen gaan via iDEAL, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill en Neteller, crypto zoals Bitcoin wordt ook geaccepteerd. Uitbetalen bij Lalabet duurde bij mij ongeveer 24 tot 48 uur, behalve die ene keer, toen was het vier dagen. En dat is meteen mijn irritatiepuntje: de verificatie duurde onnodig lang, maar daarna was het geen gedoe meer.
Hulp krijg je via de livechat, vaak binnen vijf minuten iemand aan de lijn. Bij Lalabet werd ik netjes in het Nederlands geholpen, hoewel het soms wel copy-paste voelt. Een aparte app hebben ze niet, maar de mobiele site werkt gewoon fijn en je kunt hem als snelkoppeling op je scherm zetten.
Ze draaien op een Curacao-licentie, dus geen KSA-vergunning — dat weet je dan. Bij mij is er in al die maanden niks misgegaan met uitbetalingen, maar ik zet ook geen bizarre bedragen in.
Gram tu od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec wypada sie podzielic. Wpadlem tam przez znajomego z pracy, bo znudzilo mi sie bez wiecznych problemow z wyplatami. Gier jest tam od groma — w okolicach 2500 tytulow, przy czym i tak grywam glownie na kilku. Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO i NetEnt dominuja, nie brakuje takich rzeczy jak Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead.
Pakiet powitalny w Fiery Play to doplata 100% do 1500 zl plus 200 free spinow, rozbitych na trzy dni. Warunek obrotu to x35, co jest znosne, ale zerknijcie na limity — max bet w trakcie odgrywania to jakies 5 zl i mozna to przegapic. Byl tez jakis kod bez depozytu na 25 spinow, bodajze na jakis czas. Biezace oferty widac na fiery play casino przed zalozeniem konta.
Cala rejestracja to doslownie chwila, min. depozyt wynosi 50 zl. Zwykle ide karta, czasem Neteller, wyplaty robilem pare razy — dwa razy poszlo w kilka godzin, raz czekalem dwoch dni, bo weryfikacja dokumentow. Bitcoin tez obsluguja i to leci najszybciej.
Wieczorami siedze glownie na zywo — Evolution robi tam stoly, na kilku stolach sa nasi krupierzy, co dla mnie bylo zaskoczeniem. Crazy Time leci non stop, choc ja tam bardziej ogladam niz gram. Stoly blackjacka sa w kilkunastu wariantach.
Gram glownie z komorki, przegladarkowo smiga calkiem niezle, choc na LTE w tramwaju transmisja lubi sie ciac. Maja papiery z Curacao, czyli standard w tej branzy — u mnie kasa zawsze przyszla. Support Fiery Play odpisuje po polsku choc pierwsze dwie odpowiedzi to bot. Najbardziej denerwuje mnie to te powiadomienia mailowe — trzeba to recznie odklikac.
