[cristiand969]

NO! see art.20b. It will be considerered a transhipment , in view of UCP600, only if it occurs between the Port of loading and the port of discharge.

[cristiand969]

it must be also noted that when goods are shipped in containers, even if place of loading stated in L/C is Kolkata, this would not count as a transhipment (see also art 20 c ii)

[gondem]

Dears,

'Article 20 c ii' is also valid for the flexibag containers?

[rezwan]

No.As per Article 20 (b) of UCPDC-600.
"For the purpose of this article, transshipment means unloading from one vessel and reloading to another vessel
during the carriage from the port of loading to the port of discharge stated in the credit".

[Reetika]

Can anyone please provide soft copy of UCP600,ISBP745,URR 725,ISP 98 and eUCP.

Thanks in advance

Reetika

[Fajar]

The answer is no, see ucp art 20

I have the following question :

Bill of lading is preprinted "received from shipper...",
Place of receipt and port of loading ia Jakarta
Date of issue : 15 Januari 2018
BL showing statement "shipper on board" without adding place, vessel, and date

Is it discrepancy?

[Reetika]

This is not a discrepancy as B/L evidences Place of receipt and Port of Loading,Shipped on Board Date.This is an example of Multimodal Transport Document.

Q4)Extract from a LC:

Which of the following documents are ACCEPTABLE under this LC?

B.II and III
C.IV only
D.I and IV

Please explain

[picant]

Hi Pals,

IMHO, the only answer is D, considering art 23 UCP 600 a iv and v + c i than ISBP745 H13 a and H17.
my doubts if evidencing the flight number corresponds to ask for the actual flight number (and date)
other comments appreciated

question : is it partial shipment? if yes - why? if no - which date should be taken for calculation of presentation period and for calculating maturity date?

Please explain

There are my answers:
Q.1>C
Q.2> yes. Port of Discharge is different 44F in LC
Correct: Amend LC, 44F to 44A

or 44F: shanghai to 44F: Hong Kong,
add 44A: Shanghai

Or add 47A clause : B/L showing port of discharge: Hong Kong is acceptable.

Q.3> yes.

Q.4> No. if the B/L subject is only "Bill of lading", you can raise the discrepancy "B/L did not show the carrier name or master." - as per article 20 UCP 600.
Yes. If the B/L subject shows Charter party bill of lading, the signature above is acceptable as per Article 21 UCP 600
.
Q.5> it is partial shipment. the port of discharge of B.L no.1 (Mumbai) is different from Port of discharge of B.L no. 1 (Kochi). - Article 31B UCP 600.
If B/L no.1 ,2 ,3 have same port of discharge, it is not partial shipment. and the latest date of shipment of 1 of 3 B/Ls will be taken for calculation of presentation period (02 Dec).

Hi Friends,
Who all are appearing for CDCS this year?

I am attending too. I want to practise test about ISP98, standby LCs but don't have any materials to test. Anyone have?

[saguna2018]

Hi,

Going through some Old posts :

Hi Pals,

IMHO, the only answer is D, considering art 23 UCP 600 a iv and v + c i than ISBP745 H13 a and H17.
my doubts if evidencing the flight number corresponds to ask for the actual flight number (and date)
other comments appreciated
Ciao

Shouldn't the 4th option be sufficient to satisfy the condition of full set of Air Waybills as defined in the UCP articles mentioned by you as well as H13a ? As regards H17, there is no transshipment in this case, as goods from Chennai to "any Chinese port" is completed by Flight Number 171 . How does the 1st document add any value to the documentation?

TIA
