Ala. Code § 7-2-322

Delivery “Ex-Ship”.

Known as the Uniform Commercial Code

The act spans §§ 7-10-101 to 7-9A-809 (703 sections).

(Acts 1965, No. 549, p. 811.)

(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.
