D.C. Code § 28:2-322
(2) Under such a term unless otherwise agreed
“Term”. Section 1-201.
“Seller”. Section 2-103.
“Goods”. Section 2-105.
Definitional Cross References: “Buyer”. Section 2-103.
Cross Reference: Point 1: Section 2-319(2).
4. A contract fixing a price “ex ship” with payment “cash against documents” calls only for such documents as are appropriate to the contract. Tender of a delivery order and of a receipt for the freight after the arrival of the carrying vessel is adequate. The seller is not required to tender a bill of lading as a document of title nor is he required to insure the goods for the buyer’s benefit, as the goods are not at the buyer’s risk during the voyage.
3. The appropriate place and manner of unloading at the port of destination depend upon the nature of the goods and the facilities and usages of the port.
2. Delivery need not be made from any particular vessel under a clause calling for delivery “exship”, even though a vessel on which shipment is to be made originally is named in the contract, unless the agreement by appropriate language restricts the clause to delivery from a named vessel.
Purposes: 1. The delivery term, “exship”, as between seller and buyer, is the reverse of the F.A.S. term covered.
Prior Uniform Statutory Provision: None.
