Bill of lading and/or air waybill

Dear all,
L/C requires that:
"Full set of clean on board ocean bills of lading and/or clean air waybill".
Could you explain me "AND/OR" in this case? If Ben presents B/L, OK?
Because transport docs have only one of two kinds are sea and air docs.
I hope that receiving from you soon.
Tks and best regards,

Huong Kim

here and/ or means you can ship the goods either by sea or by air. another possibility is part by ship and part by air given that partial shipment is allowed.

Dear Shariar ! I share Your opinion, but if L/C prohibits partshipment ben has to decide if he wants to ship by sea OR by air. Further to consider that there is great difference concerning the costs of seafreight and airfreight in case CFR/CPT or CIF/CIP is agreed - the amount of a prepaid airfreight charge is higher than seafreight costs to be prepaid through beneficiary. Other comments requested. Brgds LCStudent.

Hi Pals,

You just quote the transport document require, but, what is about other l/c terms? I saw many l/c that indicated different documents for marne or air shipment, different prices, terms of delivery etc.
We have to examine all data, than decide.

Other comments appreciated
