hi all
If the B/L shows 1 named vessel in vessel field ( not pre-carriage vessel field or ocean vessel field) , and within the body of the bill of lading including a sentence likes that “ intended transhipment will be effect at ABC port ( not named port of loading ) on vessel XYZ.
Is this acceptable if an on borad notaion only showing the date of shipment ?
If the above sentence is replaced with “ intended connecting vessel XYZ “ or “ intended mother vessel XYZ” .
What information should an “ on board notaion “ contain ?
your comments are welcome!

rgds,

UCP 600 prevails

The minimum amount of information in B/L should be as per art.20 ii last paragraph of UCP 600. There is no specific instruction as to where an ' intended vessel' should appear but merely in case the B/L shows an intended vessel. Therefore the on board notation should include also the actual vessel the goods have been loaded.

also think that but....

Hi Cristiand,

I also think that so i always need to see the actual on-board vessel at on-board notation. But i have just read some comments which are similar with those, and it is opposite to my thought.
they are private opinions of specialists not ICC opinions and i doubt whether if it can be accepted . anyway, i am being persuaded by them .

rgds,
