N.D. Cent. Code § 41-02-39

(2-322) Delivery ex-ship

Known as the Uniform Commercial Code

The act spans §§ 41–41 (597 sections).

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.
