Latest Question

Bill of lading is signed by the agent as agent on behalf of the carrier and showing the carrier as AKK. The carrier is identified as only AKK (the carrier: AKK) and it is not clear whether it is the title of the carrier or just an abbreviation. Besides, there is no information on the bill of lading regarding the full name of the the carrier. So, we are unable to identify who is the carrier. Attaching our advice of refusal and the response from the advising bank below. Is showing only letters as carrier (which is unknown not like MSC or any other known shipping company) on bill of lading sufficient to accept it as compliant in terms of the signing the document?
