Commercial Crime Services (CCS) is an anti-crime organization that combats all forms of commercial crime. CCS is based in London, UK. It is a membership organization that comprises three specialized divisions, including the ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB), which was established in 1981 to act as a focal point in the fight against all types of maritime crime and malpractice. The IMB is a non-profit making organization that received the lowest number of reported incidents for the first half of any year since 1994, according to its latest piracy report. CCS offers its members a full range of services, including asset tracing and recovery operations for shipping companies, charterers, and lawyers, as well as investigating cargo fraud or theft scenarios. ICC FraudNet's Annual Report 2022 details developments in investigations, insolvency-related misconduct, and the use of innovative technology to assist in discovery and court proceedings.
