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.

Kind regards,

N.H.Duc

    Dear Mr Old Man,
    Please kindly help us the following case: – we receive the charter party bill of lading which is acceptable in L/C. This CPBL shows shipper as ABC COMPANY who is also the beneficiary. In the signature box, it show “ABC COMPANY IS AGENT FOR THE MASTER OF MV XYZ.” Dear Mr Old Man, is there discrpancy when beneficiary issued and the agent of this b/l? Thank you so much and we are looking forward to hearing from you.
