Comingling clause in Tanker B/L's

MichaelaVrijhoefLems · Post by **MichaelaVrijhoefLems** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 12:00 am

Under a presentation a Tanker B/L with a comingling clause was presented. Usually in the letters of credit allowing Tanker B/L's a phrase in the credit is allowing the so called comingling clause. In this particular case not. My question is : What in the UCP or usances/practice will make a presentation of a Tanker B/L with such a clause discrepant?

Hennie,

What is a 'commingling clause'?

Jeremy,

"B/L's are evidencing: total comingled quantity: xxxxxx mt, commingling with xxxx with same specification shipped with this consignment account other buyers"

Kind regards,
Hennie

Hennie,

In my opinion the answer to your question is: 'Nothing'.

Sub-Art 32(a) is certainly of no relevance whatsoever.
