BILL OF LADING

IN BILL OF LADING LOCAL SHIPPING AGENT IS SHOWN FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY WHILE THE DISCHARGE PORT IS ANOTHER COUNTRY. IS THE DOCUMENT DESCREPANT? THE LC IS SILENT ON SHIPPING AGENT.

 

 

Document complies

The Shipping agent quoted in B/L is an additional information not conflicting with any other data in presentation made. Therefore document is not discrepant.

Furthermore it is very likely that named agent located in other country to have an office at the port of discharge as the carrier would not be so stupid to insert information which will trouble him later.
