§ 26-1-2-322 — Delivery "ex-ship"

(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 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.
