QUESTION
We have received a switch BL and the shipper signed as agent for and on behalf of the master with name of master & vessel indicated.
Please advise if it is considered discrepancy due to shipper signing as agent?

ANSWER
Hi,
The UCP does not prohibit a party from playing a dual role: (i) acting as shipper, and (ii) acting as agent for or on behalf of the carrier or the master.
The bill of lading signed in the described manner complies with sub-article 20(a) (i) UCP 600.
Kind regards,
Mr. Old Man
