What the conclusion can be drawn? I think is outside of LC but frankly speaking it was something new for me, difficult to understand and very surprising.Collins COBUILD English Usage © HarperCollins Publishers 1992, 2004, 2011, 2012 arrange

This story was told to one of my customers who said: I am not longer in a hurry to get original B/L arrived in Bank as the carrier XXX alread issued other one and gave it to me. When goods arrived in transhipment port the carrier issued a new negotiable B/L and gave it to the consignee and surprisingly released goods against presentation of this second B/L. Regarding your second questions, I can say from my experience that while theoretically is not possible to have 2 B/L for 1 FCL container (i.e 2 titles of properties or 2 receipts) in practice I've seen that in the following scenario:Ī freight forwarder issued a negotiable B/L for FCL container in the capacity of agent of a named carrier. It is not uncommon the freight not be unveiled by carrier in a competitive market. 'As arranged' is a term used in maritime transport rather than in documentary credits whereby the carrier, agent, etc makes statement of b/l that freight between shipper and them has been negotiated and agreed together.
