Uncategorized CHARTER PARTY BILL OF LADING ACCEPTABLE By Mr Old Man Posted on November 27, 2014 1 min read 2 0 3,831 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr Cu De River – I rode my bike here last Sunday QUESTION A letter of credit, under field 46A, asks for: “Full set B/Ls ………… signed by the shipping company or its agent” and additionally states under field 47A that “CPBLs are acceptable”. Beneficiary presented a CPBL signed by the Master. Would you consider the signing of the B/L by the Master as a discrepancy? Regards Carmel ———- ANSWER Hi, There is no discrepancy. Where a CPBL is presented, it is to be signed in the form described in UCP 600 sub-article 22 (a) (i), i.e., it can be signed by: (i) the master or a named agent for or on behalf of the master; or (ii) the owner or a named agent for or on behalf of the owner; or (iii) the charterer or a named agent for or on behalf of the charterer.
