![]() When the TT carrier gives the feeder thecargo for carriage he must make sure that he keeps control over possession ofthe cargo in order to secure delivery under the TT bill of lading. Accordingly, the feeder bill of lading should be a receiptfor the goods issued by the feeder to the TT carrier (or his agent at thetranshipment port). ![]() The TT carrier himself (or his agent at thetranshipment port) is the party from whom the feeder receives the cargo at thetranshipment port. The TT carrier,by choosing to sub-contract part of the carriage contracted under the terms ofthe TT bill of lading, hires the feeder to perform that part of the carriage. The feeder bill of lading should beevidence of a contract between the TT carrier and the feeder. The functions of the feeder bill of lading Contractual Function The feeder bill of lading, however, is notalways issued in a proper manner, as will be noted below. In cases similar to the above example theTT bill of lading is normally issued correctly, naming the parties to thedocument as follows:Ĭonsignee: either to order or a namedreceiver in Santos, say R The feeder issues a bill of lading for carriage of the cargo from SanFrancisco to Seattle. However, Asvessel is not scheduled to call at Seattle at all, but instead brings thecontainer to San Francisco, where it is transhipped on board a feeder vessel(B). The cargo is loaded on to As vessel in Hong Kong. ![]() A TT carrier (A)issues a bill of lading to shippers (S) for carriage of a container from Hong Kong to Seattle, with a clauseconferring liberty on him to sub-contract the whole or any part of the carriageof the goods. Thesub-contract is between the TT carrier and the feeder.įor the sake of illustration we will usethe following example, which is typical in through transport. ![]() In this case cargo interests do notautomatically enter into a contractual relationship with the feeder. 1Accordingly, where the carrier makes use of such liberty, cargo interests will contract with the TT carrier, who inturn will sub-contract with a feeder. In the operation of through transport acarrier (hereafter called TT carrier) may sub-contract parts of the carriageto another carrier (hereafter called feeder).īills of lading issued by TT carriers forthrough transport normally contain a clause conferring a liberty on them tosub-contract the whole or any part of the carriage of the goods. In this article we will deal solely withthe so-called pure through bill of lading, that is, a bill under which theissuer (or contractual carrier) undertakes as principal to deliver (or procureothers to deliver) the cargo to final destination, and remains responsiblethroughout the carriage. These refer mainly to the manner in which feeder bills of ladingare completed, especially in what concerns the identity of the parties to thedocument. The Association occasionally comes acrosstransport documents issued by carriers in through transport where inaccuraciescan be spotted. ![]()
