CHARTER PARTY B/L

Post by EMILYTRAN » Tue Jan 19, 2010 12:00 am

Pls help me for this case:
LC stipulated:
+ Port of loading: any black sea port
+ Charter party B/L acceptable
Docs presented:
+ Charter party B/L show:
. "CLEAN SHIPPED ON BOARD."
. Port of loading: NOVOROSSIYSK, BLACK SEA PORT (in RUSSIA) but place of issuing B/L is HONGKONG, MMDDYYYY.
In my experience, they are usually in the same country.

Is there any problem/risk for the bank when received the above mention B/L (especially Charter party B/L)?
May the issuing bank regard the BL as non-complying?

Many thanks.
Best regards.

Dear KHANHLETU,
According to UCP600's article 14.l. a transport document may be issued by any party (and therefore in my opinion in any country) other than a carrier, owner, master or charterer provided that the transport document meets the requirements of relevant articles and article 22 particularly.
With regards,

MARATD, welcome to the DC-Pro discussion forum. I certainly do not want to discourage you from future postings but:
(1) I cannot see that 14(l) has any relevance.
(2) if a CPBL meets the requirements of Article 22 it will, by definition, be signed -and therefore issued by- by a party that is stated to be the master, owner or charterer (including where signed by a named agent for or on behalf of any of these parties). 14(l) is what many call ‘circular’.

KHANLETU, I am not aware of any UCP600 requirement that a BL must be issued in the port of loading and nor do I see why a BL should be issued in the POL. Therefore, I do not see any legitimate basis for refusal.

Regards, Jeremy

For example, a big shipping company called Mediterranean Shipping Company is headquartered in Geneva and the b/ls are issued and signed in Geneva and usually not for vessels seafaring (Jeremy, is it correct?) from Geneva to Montreux.

'Sailing' Daniel even though the vessel does not have any sails (voiles).

There is no discrepancy unless the LC itself prohibited this. The place of signing/issue is not relevant to the LC examination process but may be relevant to Government Sanctions/Regs. A carrier may issue a BL from of its offices.

JSMITH.
I do not think that posting opinions can discourage anybody. I'm just trying to express my point of view.
