Article 752Discharge of Goods

①Once the preparations necessary for discharging goods from a ship have been completed, the master must notify the consignee of this without delay.

②If a voyage charter contract prescribes a discharge period but does not prescribe the time of its commencement, the discharge period is counted from the time at which the consignee is notified as referred to in the preceding paragraph. In this case, the discharge period does not include any period during which the discharge of goods is impeded due to force majeure.

③If the consignee discharges goods after the discharge period has passed, the carrier may claim reasonable demurrage even if there is no special agreement to that effect.
