Hei Kei,
You need to elaborate a bit more: It is unusual that a bill of lading reflects both a sailing date and an on-board date.
Best regards

Dear expect,
sorry for made you confused.
DC showing sailing date to be treated as shipment date. However we found that bill of lading presented showing on board date instead of sailing date. I have no idea whether sailing date and on board date bearing the same function/meaning.
Thanks
Kei
Not a well-drafted LC

Dear Kei,
Well – I guess this is not a well-drafted LC
Shipping lines operates with ”on-board” dates. Similar (as an example) FOB Incoterms 2010 mentions that the risk passes when the goods are on board the vessel.
Normally a shipping line would not mention the sailing date on the bill of lading … but perhaps on the sailing list
Best regards

On board dates are in use according to shipping lines. Also I have found that UCP 600 Article 20 Section A indicates the dates on which the goods have been shipped on board.
