国际保赔集团（IG）批准的保函（LOI）标准格式（作为在不出示正本提单和/或在不同于提单载明的港口或地点交付货物的凭证）最后更新于2010年。尽管涉及风险，但保函仍然被广泛使用。在一些贸易中，货物根据保函交付几乎是行业惯例，其效力的认可也体现在英国法院最近的一些判决中。
IG集团工作组近些年在租家、船东代表以及BIMCO的协助下对措辞进行了审查，并刚刚发布了保函标准格式措辞的修订版。

Updated Suite Of IG-Approved Letter Of Indemnity Wordings
The International Group (“IG”) Standard Form Letters of Indemnity (given in return for delivery of cargo without production of an original bill of lading and/or delivery of cargo at a port or place other than stated in the bill of lading) were last reviewed in 2010. Despite the risks involved they remain widely used (and, in some trades, it is almost the rule that cargo is delivered pursuant to a Letter of Indemnity). A number of recent English Court judgements have upheld their overall effectiveness.
Over recent years an IG working group has undertaken a review of the wordings, with assistance from charterer and owner representatives and from BIMCO. As a result, the Group Clubs are today publishing revised versions of the Standard Forms of Letters of Indemnity.
