In LC nothing mentioned about place of receipt and place of discharge but BL shows as below. Place of receipt: Antwerp Port of Loading: Antwerp Port of Discharge: Jebel Ali Place of delivery: Jebel Ali 2. BL has the clause ‘RECEIVED FOR SHIPMENT IN APPARENT GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION’ and Shipped on board date as 15-04-2016. However, there is no notation of “Shipped on board” Can this be considered as Shipped on board BL? Palani ——– ANSWER Hi, It is agreed that: (1) For a bill of lading pre-printed “shipped on board” with or without place of receipt and NO indication of a means of pre-carriage, no on board notation is needed and the date of issue is considered to be the date of shipment. (2) For a bill of lading pre-printed “received for shipment” with or without place of receipt and NO indication of a means of pre-carriage, a dated on board notation is required. The bill of lading in question is a “received for shipment” bill of lading, so a dated on board notation is required. However, as described, the bill of lading has no on board notation but the wording “Shipped on board date as 15 – 04 -2016”. In my opinion the bill of lading is acceptable. I would treat the wording “Shipped on board date as 15 – 04 -2016” as a dated on board notation. Kind regards, Mr. Old Man
