Introduction 課程簡介
The result of the survey by the ICC Paris indicates that 1/3 of the discrepancies in letters of credit is from bills of lading. Because maritime transport is a technology outside the scope of competence of an average banker, confusions are created over the requirements in the marine/ocean bills of lading. Freight forwarders and carriers also have disputes with the bankers over discrepancies in transport documents, blaming them for mowing the lawn of their neighbours. These disputes are further aggravated by the strict requirements under the UCP 500 and the ICC Position Paper No. 4.
This workshop introduces the essential knowledge of liner and other forms of bills of lading that bankers need to know to determine, and also to eliminate, the discrepancies in these transport documents. Case studies and famous court cases are used extensively to demonstrate the common discrepancies and disputes in bills of lading from the speaker's work file. Our workshops are known for 4i's: interesting, informative, inspiring, and insightful. Participants have high involvement over open forum discussions, led by the facilitator. Techniques learnt can be applied immediately in participants' workplace to achieve results.
