Is it a discrepancy B/L showing port of loading

Dear Expert,

May I ask for your opinion on the following:

Query 7:

L/C:

44E: JNPT, India
44F: Shanghai, China

B/L presented showing

Place of Receipt: blank
Ocean Vessel: DEF
Port of Loading: Nhava Sheva, India
Port of discharge: Shanghai
Place of delivery: Shanghai

Is it a discrepancy B/L showing port of loading Nhava Sheva, India instead of JNPT, India.

Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
ucp 800

No discrepancy

I would not treat this as discrepancy, it's actually the same port and this is one of those unwritten exceptions found in L/C practice: like Mumbai and Bombay, Beijing and Peking, Busan and Pusan, Frankfurt am Main / Frankfurt, etc.
