A recent incident in China has highlighted the importance of keeping a look-out for fraudulent bills of lading and for ships’ agents to check the documentation presented very carefully. One of North’s Members was recently discharging a cargo in the Chinese port of Caofeidian when, through vigilance, it was discovered that the bills of lading presented for the cargo were fraudulent. Discharge was ceased until the issue was clarified, and all the originals bills were located and returned to the owner and agent.
