(a) 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 that has reached a place at the named port of destination where goods of the kind are usually discharged. (b) Under such a term, unless otherwise agreed, (1) the seller must discharge all liens arising out of the carriage and furnish the buyer with a direction that puts the carrier under a duty to deliver the goods; and (2) the risk of loss does not pass to the buyer until the goods leave the ship's tackle or are otherwise properly unloaded.
