通常船长都是授权给装货港代理以签发提单,但租家要求船长授权给卸货港代理签发提单,可否接受?对船东来说有何风险?

租家的理由如下

Sub-charterer to Master:

As usual all the alumina shipment out from Bunbury or Gladstone to Bluff the
OBL is signed by disch port agent (Pacific Shipping Agencies Ltd).
Please be advised that the reason we do this is because the cargo that
loaded on board your good vessel is sell to our own smelters and due to
short transit time of vessel from Gladstone to Bluff and to ensure the OBL
will be available for discharging instead of discharging against the LOI.

Fyi, please find attached authorisation letter from our other time charter
vessel that recently loading at Bunbury port.
Plsd to hear your confirmation to authorise the disch port agent on behalf
of load port agent to sign the OBL on behalf of your good self.

===================

Head-Charterer to Owner:

Since headowner requested for our view, then we humbly comment that
place of issuance of bills of lading is not restricted to load port
only.  It can be issued at any other place other that the load port,
the same principle which work on switching of bills of lading whereby
2nd sets bills is often issued/exchanged at a place other than the
load port which is a common shipping practice.  We checked same with
our PNI Club before and we allowed such practice.  Load port agent or
Discharge port agent, not withstanding are both appointed agent of our
subtc, in this case Rio Tinto.

Either agent, without the final approval of Rio Tinto will not be
allowed to sign/release bills so regardless of load port agent or
discharge port agent signing the bills, the control remains with
owners, in this case, Rio Tinto acting as Time-Charter owner.

Headowner may wish to check with their PNI Club and advise their final
position on subject matter as this will means we will never be able to
use Nona Bulker for some cargo which strictly requires Bills of Lading
to be issued at discharge port by the discharge port agent, who is a
subsidiary of the receivers.

Await owners further comment for future reference.

提单卸港签在现实操作中都是可行且常有的,关键是签发的提单的代理必须取得船东的指示才可以释放提单。很多时候这种代理都带着强烈的收货人的背景,这种做法关键是评估租家/收货人的背景及信誉,毕竟卸港提单风险是来的更直接。
