Place of Delivery
The place of delivery is the final destination where the cargo is handed over to the consignee or the recipient. This location is specified in the shipping documents, such as the bill of lading, and represents the end point of the transportation contract between the shipper and the carrier. The place of delivery can be a port, warehouse, distribution center, or any designated location agreed upon by the parties involved. Ensuring accurate information about the place of delivery is crucial for planning the logistics operations and ensuring timely and efficient handover of goods.
