Commercial Maritime Law

1. Any person who has the right to receive goods by virtue of a bill of lading may request the carrier to issue delivery orders with respect to quantities thereof, on the condition that it is stipulated in the bill of lading. 2. Delivery orders shall be issued in the name of a specified person or to his order, or to the bearer, and shall be signed by the carrier and the person requesting the order. 3. If the bill of lading is negotiable, the carrier shall mention therein the particulars of the delivery orders he has issued and the goods set out therein. If the shipment has been entirely distributed over several delivery orders, the carrier shall recall the bill of lading. 4. The delivery order shall give its lawful holder the right to receive the goods indicated therein.
