Is there a difference between Laden on Board and Shipped on Board notation on a bill of lading..??
L
aden on board = Confirmation from the entity issuing the bill of lading that the cargo has been loaded on board and when accompanied with a date, it means that the cargo described on the bill of lading has been loaded on board the ship on the specific date mentioned..
If no date is mentioned, the bill of lading date will be deemed to be the date that the cargo was loaded on board..
Laden on board only means that the cargo has been loaded on board and should not be construed as the ship having sailed with the cargo..
This specific notation however is not very widely used as compared to a shipped on board notation..
Shipped on board = Confirmation from the entity issuing the bill of lading that the cargo has been loaded on board and the ship has sailed.. When accompanied with a date, it means that the cargo described on the bill of lading has been loaded on board the ship and the ship has sailed on the specific date mentioned..
If no date is mentioned, the bill of lading date will be deemed to be the date of shipment..
UCP600 Article 20 – Section A – sub-section ii clarifies this point as below:
– an on board notation indicating the date on which the goods have been shipped on board.
The date of issuance of the bill of lading will be deemed to be the date of shipment unless the bill of lading contains an on board notation indicating the date of shipment, in which case the date stated in the on board notation will be deemed to be the date of shipment.
How frequently have you issued or seen a bill of lading with the Laden on Board notation and have you had any issues with your negotiations due to the lack of understanding of above difference..??
Dear Sir,
If the laden on board date on MBL is showing earlier than the actual one, for insurance, should we follow the date on MBL or the actual Laden on board or SOB date?
for example: MBL’s laden on board date is DEC 29
Actual loaded on board is JAN 05
Which one is correct for applying on insurance?
I have one quick question, A shipper has generated BL .Where he has mentioned SOB date earlier that actual SOB date ( means actually sailed on 15 may but in BL it has been mentioned 13 may and use the date 15 may as a date of issue of BL ) .
As consignment is in LC . Will there be a problem to consingee to release the consignment ?
HBL is nothing but house bill of lading which is issued to the actual shipper & actual consignee by the freight forwarders.In this case your agent checking with you whether the HBL is surrendered to the forwarding agent.
Dear Sir,
Is SOB OR vessel departure date same?
Hi Sunil, its not the same.. SOB is the date on which the cargo is Shipped on Board.. Departure date may or may not be different.. But the terms are different..
loaded on board = cargo has been loaded on ship
shipped on board (sob) = cargo has been loaded and ship has sailed
vessel departure = vessel sailed
SOB=vsl departure
The article is very useful to learn many good things in Shipping and Logistics field. Share many ground reality factor like this.

Thank you Ashwin, appreciate your comments..
Dear Sir,
Recently we have one shipment from Chittagong to NYC by sea. In the HB/L Shipper: Shipper in Bangladesh, Consignee: Shipper’s Local Bank, Notify Party: Buyer in NYC,USA.
Our agent is USA asked : “ please confirm if the HBL has been surrendered or Released”.
I replied : “MB/L has been surrendered”. Accordingly I forwarded surrendered copy of MB/L and surrender message we received from Carrier.
Agent in USA then replied : “Received. Please also advise if the HBL is telex”. (Now I get confused. What I should write to them?)
I heard only about OBL (MB/L) surrender/Telex Release. But never heard of HB/L can be surrendered/ Telex. Shipper took the Original HB/L (total 6 copies: 3 original, 3 non-nego) from us. Shipper will send the HB/L to their Buyer is USA. Is it possible that buyer can release goods without presentation of original HB/L? Why our agent in USA asked if the HB/L is Telex?
Please you have to help me on this. Can HB/L be Telex? Please explain in details.
(Question 2: Is not Surrender and Telex Release same? I think same. Am I right or Wrong? What is Express Release and Sea Way Bill then? How Are they different from Surrender or Telex Release? )
Thanks

Hello Susmita, both HBL and MBL maybe surrendered at origin and the shipper can request telex release.. Pls search for House Bill of Lading on the site and you will see many articles where this has been discussed..
Dear sir,
thank you very much for your reply. But the websites you advised I already read . they only discussed of MBL/OBL surrender or Telex, Not HB/L. please can you give me the links of articles on HBL surrender/ Telex.
thanks
