外经贸业务洽谈-SHIPPING

SHIPPINGDialogue(1) Date of ShipmentWhen a buyer places his order, he often demands that the delivery meet his sales requirement. To avoid possible disputes, the date of shipment should be stipulated as clearly as possible in the contract. Mr .Wei from the China National Foodstuffs Import & Export Corporation, Shanghai Branch, has had much experience in this area.Buyer: Now, , a word about delivery. Can you make prompt shipmentWei: ‘Prompt shipment’, such te rms are ambiguous. People can interpret this phrase differently.Buyer: We must have the seafood for the winter sale. That ‘s all I want. Wei: For the winter sale Why ,that would mean the goods must arrive at London in early November . We’re now in late September. Even ifwe had the goods ready, I don’t think we could ship them rightaway.Buyer: I know there’s a great demand on shipping lately.Wei : That is so. I was informed by our shipping department yesterday that liner space for Europe up to the end of next month has beenfully booked. I’m afraid we can do very little about it. Buyer: We understand tramps are still availbale.Wei: Yes, but tramps are scarce. Generally, no refrigeration facilities are provided on them, and I’m not sure whether th ere would beenough tonnage to make a full cargo, even if a tramp could beobtained.Buyer: Is there any chace if transhipment is allowedWei: But transhipment adds to the expense, risks of damge and sometimesmay delay arrival, because there’s also a sh ortage oftranship ment space for Europe. Anyhow, we’ll try. We have goodconnections with the China Resources Shipping & Storage Co., Ltd.in Hongkong. This company has a great reputation for itscompentence in the shipping world. And since it has longterm agencyagreements with many world famous shipping companies, it caneasily meet the clients’ varied demands.Buyer: We prefer direct shipment, of course, but if you can’t get hold of a direct vessel, we may agree to have the goods transhipped atHongkong. You know, good quality, competitive price, all wouldmean nothing if goods could not be put on the market on time. Wei: Yes, fully understand. We’ll find out th e situation about the connecting steamer right away.Buyer: As far as I know, Jardine Shipping Agent (HK) Ltd. has a liner sailing from Hongkong for Europe around mid-October. If you couldmanage to catch that vessel, everything would be all right. Wei: It’s very hard for us to accept a designated oncarrier. There are so many factors that might make the goods miss the intended sailing.Besides, are you sure the vessel will call at London And is shealready carrying a full loadBuyer: I guess if we start immediately, there’s still hope. And if worst comes to worst, please ship the goods to London or Liverpool. Howabout Liverpool as an optional port of destinationWei: Good. Then what would you say if we put like this:“Shipment, first available steamer in October. Port of destination, London orLiverpool. Transhipment at Hongkong allowed.”I think this is theearliest possibility.Buyer: Fine. It seems I’ve no alternative. Thank you, Mr. Wei. I’m sorry if these arrangement cause you a lot of inconvenience.Wei: Oh no, we’re only too glad to help you in any way we can.

And the balance in October.—Can’t you make the s econd delivery a little earlier—say, September —I’m afraid October is the best we can do.—October then,if that's the way it is .But make sure that there’ll be no delay in shipment. As you know, any delay would put us in a very difficult situation.—We’re fully aware of that. It’s not good for you,not for us.Advancing shipment—Since we’re in urgent need of the goods, could you deliver 100 tons immediately—No problem. We can delivery it from stock to meet your requirement.—As for the rest of the 900 tons, please ship them in one lot in May.—I’m sorry that’s impossible. It would be very difficult for us to get the goods ready within such a short time.—What’s the earliest possible date then—By the end of July.—That would be too late. Could you find a way to advance the shipment somehow—May I suggest that we ship in three equal lots, starrting from May. Would that help—You mean 300 tons each in May, June and July—That’s right.—Such arrangement helps solve some of my problem. Thank you.Urging shipment—I’ve just got a fax from my company. Our people are most anxious about the October shipment. So far they’ve heard nothing from you.—We’re sorry for the delay. The trouble is that direct ships to your port are very few.—If you can’t get hold of a di rect vessel, we might agree to have the goods transhipped via Rotterdam.—I’ll have to contact our forwarding agent there first and find out what the situation is like.—You know we must have the goods in time for the Christmas rush.—I understand.
