Dock Receipt

The receipt signed by the container terminal, transfer station or inland station after the receipt of full container load or less than container load under the consignment of the carrier. The dock receipt is compiled by the consigner. If the goods are loaded in more than one container, they should be checked and accepted with packing list, and the dock administrator will not sign the dock receipt until the last container is checked and accepted. If the dock receive full container load, a remark should be made in case of any exception in the appearance. The function of the dock receipt is equivalent to the mate’s receipt in classical transportation. It is the warrant of the consigner to get the bill of lading from the ship company.
