Section 2--322. Delivery "Ex-Ship"  


Latest version.
  • (1)  Unless  otherwise  agreed  a term for delivery of goods "ex-ship"
      (which means from the carrying vessel) or in equivalent language is  not
      restricted  to a particular ship and requires delivery from a ship which
      has reached a place at the named port of destination where goods of  the
      kind are usually discharged.
        (2) Under such a term unless otherwise agreed
             (a) the  seller  must  discharge  all  liens  arising  out of the
                 carriage and furnish the buyer with a  direction  which  puts
                 the carrier under a duty to deliver the goods; and
             (b) the  risk  of loss does not pass to the buyer until the goods
                 leave the ship's tackle or are otherwise properly unloaded.
