Bibby Line warns of fraudulent imposters

UK shipowner Bibby Line is advising potential clients to beware of fraudulent companies claiming to operate under its name.

It said it was aware of a company calling itself Bibby Line Shipping which advertises an online worldwide vehicle transportation service.

"This company is not a part of, and has no connection with, Bibby Line Group," it said.

"ActionFraud have been made aware of this matter and any relevant information should be passed on to them accordingly."

The owner said there is also a company calling itself Bibby Line Shipping Company UK which is advertising bogus vacancies for officers and crew on Bibby ships.

"These are fraudulent job offers," Bibby added.

The company does not employ seafarers directly. All crew placements are handled by manager V. Ships.
