Which Transport Article Is Applicable When Charter Party BL Is Presented

Post by Anturium » Mon Nov 14, 2016 7:49 pm

Hi everyone!

I would appreciate if you could provide me with your comments regarding the following issue:

If L/C terms require presentation of a Port to Port B/L or Ocean B/L but Charter party B/L is presented instead, under which article would you examine the presented document? (It is clear that one of the discrepancies would be Charter presented i/o Ocean B/L, but than would you comment on the signing of the document (weather the master or the carrier can sign it?)
.
Thank you all in advance :)

You should review the document in accordance with applicable rule of document requested in L/C. Since CPBL has been presented that means the required document by L/C has not been presented and CPBL would be an additional document not required under the credit. Therefore, examining a document not required under the credit would not seem to be within the scope of L/C.
