CML Seminar Series: Bills of Lading and Ship’s Delivery Orders
Description
Venue has changed to The Executive Centre, Level 37, Ocean Financial Centre, 10 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049315
There are bills of lading and there are ship’s delivery orders. What exactly is a ship’s delivery order, does it matter which law applies to that question, and how does a ship’s delivery order relate to a bill of lading? The speaker will give a general introduction on the subject, outline the system of the UK Carriage of Goods by Sea 1992 c 50/Singapore Bills of Lading Act 1992 (2020 rev ed) and address these questions above. The speaker will also revisit the UK Court of Appeal judgment in Glencore International AG v MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co SA [2017] EWCA Civ 365, in which the ship’s delivery order played a pivotal role. The session will end, as always, with Q&A.
