在國際貨物買賣中,主要運送方式為船舶,船舶主要又分成定期船(liner)和不定期船(tramp)。
一般定期船裝運手續為:
出口商(賣家)先去跟船公司訂好艙位(Booking Space)
船公司接受託運貨物的話會發出裝貨單(Shipping Order),
出口商可將貨物裝上船,碼頭會簽署收貨單(Mate’s Receipt)給出口商
出口商憑藉著碼頭開的收貨單再去跟船公司換取提單(Bill of Lading)
範例一:向船公司查詢運費及洽訂艙位
Dear Sirs,
We shall be pleased if you will quote us the lowest rate of freight for ___(商品資訊,如:100 bales of cotton yarn weighting 400 lbs, each), to be shipped to ___(地名) direct before ___(日期) from ___(地名).
As the L/C stipulates that transshipment is not allowed, therefore, you must quote us for vessel sailing from ___(地名) to ___(地名) directly before the deadline as mentioned above.
Your early quotation will be appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
