在作为海上货物运输合同证明的提单正面,往往有一栏载明“通知方”(NotifyParty)的信息。货物运抵目的港之前或者之后,承运人会通过一定的方式向提单上“通知方”一栏中所载明的人发出货物到港通知。实践中,货方与船方在此环节经常产生争议。 On the front of the bill of lading, which is a certificate of contract for the carriage of goods by sea, there is often a column with the message “Notify Party.” Before or after the goods have arrived at the port of destination, the carrier will by certain means send a notice of arrival of the goods to the person named in the “Notice Party” on the bill of lading. In practice, the cargo and the ship are often in this part of the controversy.
