Discharge from the ship

(1) The provisions of sections 528 through 531 governing the port of loading and loading wharf, the notice of readiness for loading, the loading time, and the loading and stowing of goods on board are to be applied accordingly to the port of discharge and discharging wharf, to the notice of readiness for discharge, to the discharging time, and to the discharge of goods from the ship. However, notwithstanding the provisions under section 530 (3) sentence 2, the consignee will owe demurrage for any exceedance of the discharging time, even if, upon delivery of the goods, the consignee was not informed of the amount owed.

(2) If the consignee is not known to the carrier, then the notice of readiness for discharge is to be given by publication in the form customary for the location where the goods are to be discharged from the ship.
