Section 4-2-322 - Delivery "ex-ship"

(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.Acts 1961, No. 185, § 2-322; A.S.A. 1947, § 85-2-322.
