What i always insist on original BDN ?
Once the bunkering is done, BDN come back , issue invoice, pay, all seems easy right ? Yeah i hope so normally original BDN take some time to come back because normally the bunker barge will supply a batch of vessels and gather the BDN and set back to the supplier office. Then the account department will gather a batch of BDN and start to issue the invoice to the trader. Then the account department of trader will gather a batch of BDN and start to issue the invoice to client. After all those done, a courier will then sent to client and they finally receive the original copy.
Reason i insist on original copy is i had experience of supplying vessel in Hong Kong :
- After BDN signed and choped and barge sail away ,Captain then call owner say there is dispute and he put remark himself on his BDN copy.
- throw it on the sea ( yes throw the BDN to the sea and claim supplier never supply after BDN signed and cast off ).
What happen if the original is lost ? No worry normally a BDN will have 3-4 copys ( like a 3-4 layers carbon paper ), in case the vessel really lost it ( hopefully not throw to the sea ), you can request supplier give you one more and normally should be no problem
Until next time
