Sometimes, the actual consignee is not at the port of discharge. In this case, after the goods are discharged at the port of discharge, they need to be transported to the final destination through the next leg of transportation. If there is a need for such continued transportation in actual business, the parties usually need to stipulate it in the contract. The following is an example of relevant clauses.
“The goods were shipped in May 2010 from Tianjin China to Marseilles France via Hong Kong by sea, and then to Paris.”
