LC calls for a marine BL covering shipment from Port A to Port B with transshipment allowed.

A 'received for shipment' BL is presented showing :

Place of Receipt: 'A'
Precarriage: m/v 'X'
Port of loading: 'A' i.e. same as the place of receipt
Vessel: m/v 'Y'
Port of discharge: 'B'

The on board notation added on the BL does not show any vessel's name.

May we consider that the on board notation refers implicitely to the pre-carriage vessel X and in the affirmative how can you explain that loading and transshipment are effected at the same port A ?

Hi,

A Bill of Lading pre-printed “received for shipment” with place of receipt and/or an indication of a means of carriage requires a dated on board notation with name of the vessel that leaves the port of loading and the port of lading.

The on board notation needs to indicate the vessel name and port of loading. Please refer to ICC's document No.470/1128rev final – 22 April 2010 for guidance.
