B/L states Port of Loading as: JNPT, India
Shipping company's certificate states Port of Loading as: INNSA
which is port code for JNPT
Is it acceptable to use Port code instead of Port name?
Thanks in advance for all comments.

Port code
This may be a shocking admission, but I had no idea there were such things as sea port codes. However, having carried out an internet search I can see that there are, and that INNSA is the code for JNPT, although I could not find out who sets these codes.
To be honest, I am torn between a common sense(?) ‘yes it s/b complying in the same way as an airport code would be acceptable as indicated in ISBP681 para 141’ and a ‘this is not, as far as I know, i.s.b.p. -as referred to in Art. 2, ‘complying presentation’- and therefore is non-compliant’.
In line with the document examiner’s maxim ‘If in doubt, chuck it out’, I would in this instance go for non-complying.

Thanks for your reply.
The constant dilemmas - common sense or a literal interpretation.
Hard to draw the line ... , but we also go for non-complying.
