Subject field(s)
  • Financial Accounting
  • Cargo (Water Transport)
  • Regulations (Water Transport)
  • Maritime Law
DEF

A bill of lading acknowledging the receipt of goods by a carrier for shipment on a specified vessel.

OBS

This type of bill of lading is not acceptable under a letter or credit unless it is specially authorized. English law does not regard these bills as a valid tender under c.i.f. contracts because the c.i.f. seller is obligated to ship the goods, and a Received for Shipment Bill of Lading is not considered proof of shipment.

CONT

Le «connaissement reçu pour embarquement» [...] ne représente en réalité qu'une promesse de chargement. Mais la pratique maritime [...] continue dans un grand nombre de cas d'employer le connaissement «reçu pour embarquement» comme un substitut utile du connaissement «embarqué».
