Bulk and Full-Container Sample Clauses

Bulk and Full-Container. Load shipments to sea-girt countries a) In respect of shipments in bulk on chartered vessels, the weights stated in the Bill of Lading or non-negotiable cargo receipt are to be considered as final between WFP and the recipient Government. On arrival of the vessel, WFP will arrange for a draft survey to ascertain, by close approximation, the quantity of cargo on board. Should the weight on board, as ascertained by the draft survey, indicate a substantial discrepancy between that weight and the Bill of Lading weight, WFP will investigate such discrepancy in full cooperation with the Government. On completion of discharge it is the responsibility of the recipient Government to ensure that no cargo is left on board the vessel. If the vessel carries cargo for more than one port, it is the responsibility of the recipient Government to ensure that the correct quantities are discharged at each port. b) As regards shipments arriving in containers loaded and carried under Full Container Load (F.C.L.) terms, the recipient Government is responsible for the unstuffing of the containers. The WFP superintendent should be present at the unstuffing of the containers in the discharge port, which should take place on unloading from the vessel. Any damage or losses found at that time will be considered to have occurred during the period when WFP had title to the cargo. If the unstuffing of the containers is delayed and/or takes place without WFP superintendents being present, any damage or losses will be considered to have occurred after the time which WFP has passed title to the recipient Government. If the containers are transported from/to port at discharge, unopened, to the project site, for the convenience of the recipient Government, WFP superintendents will not be requested to travel to the place of unstuffing and any losses or damages will be for the account of the Government, who will have the right to claim for such losses from the carriers.
