Dated on board notation is needed or not for one B/L already

[PeterCao]

Would you please confirm if Dated on board notation is needed or note for one on board B/L shown with pre-printed wording i.e LADEN ON BOARD” ?

Thanks for your comments

If you can't get your answer from Article 20, then you haven't asked your question completely.

Sorry

Perhaps para 97 ISBP681 might answer your question.

Dear Peter Cao,

I do not think it is possible to answer that question based on the information given. There are many variables – that may provide different results.

Best regards

My question is if B/L is on board B/L with pre-printed word i.e “Laden on board”
At this moment, do we need to re-add on board notation? ( as per article 20 , either is acceptable) but, in same cases, on board notation are re-added on the B/L , as long as on board notation date is same as B/L issuance date.
But for received on board B/L, on board notation with date is necessary, since on-board date is later than transport documents issuance date.

Thanks for your further comments

Peter - your question has too many possible variables for a yes/no answer.
1. What is the LC requirement - shipment from, shipment to?
2. What type of transport document is required by the LC?
3. What transport document was received and how is it completed?

In general, if the credit requires a port to port shipment and the transport document is a pre-printed "Shipped On Board" form, AND the port of loading is the port required in the credit, the vessel is named, etc., then an additional "on Board" notation is not required. Remember - I said "in general" as carriers are using many different forms and in some places it will say "shipped on board" and on the same form it will also say "shipped on board means received by the carrier" - i.e. the carrier really has a 'received' BL, not a "shipped" BL.

One must read most carefully. Hope this is helpful.
