Dear Sir,
We appreciate your suggestion to insert a FCR document instead of the Bill of Lading. However, we feel this is not the most practicable way to reach consensus on this matter.
Next week we will ship goods to the port of loading for another customer that signed a FOB-contract with us and the payment document in the Letter of Credit is a CMR.
Can you please contact your bank if they can accept the CMR? Your bank finds this a suitable solution.
LC should then have to be amended for the first and second drawing to read “ORIGINAL CMR (CARGO MOVEMENT REQUEST) PLUS 03 COPIES, NOTIFY: [DETAILS APPLICANT], MARKED FREIGHT COLLECT” instead of the Bill of Lading.
Please also add to Additional Conditions “PRESENTATION OF MULTIPE CMR ACCEPTABLE”
Trust the above solution is acceptable to all parties involved. Kindly confirm.
Kind regards,
IHC Merwede Holding B.V.
