Hi Pal,

in the world of UCP these terms have the same meaning.
May be in shipping industry a little difference exists. but we have to ignore it.
Other comments appreciated

Hi Pals,

shipping company may be a carrier in signing a certificate regarding a transport document, but the transport document must be signed as carrier or agent of named carrier. ISBP 745 A 19(2013) is
quite clear.
