Inspired by the posting of Laurence, talking about hovercrafts on air charter party, we have a new query for bankers to scratch their heads.

One of the future design concepts for cargo carriage is to use airship to use less energy and to reduce pollution.

Question 1: In that case, which Article of the UCP 500 should be used to examine a transport document presented evidencing air shipment? Should they use the "air" Article 27 or the "sea" Article 23/24?

Question 2: What if the title of the transport document is "Airship Waybill"?
