The Port of Discharge and the Port of Delivery are two different terms used in the shipping industry.
The Port of Discharge refers to the port where the goods are unloaded from the transport vessel, such as a ship or a truck. This is the final destination of the goods as they are being transported by sea or waterway. The carrier's responsibility for the goods ends when the goods are discharged from the carrier's vessel or container at the port of discharge.
The Port of Delivery, on the other hand, refers to the final destination where the goods are delivered to the consignee. This is the place where the goods are handed over to the buyer or the person who is entitled to take possession of the goods. This port is typically an inland location and may be different from the port of discharge. The carrier's responsibility for the goods continues until they are delivered to the port of delivery.
In summary, the Port of Discharge is the port where goods are offloaded from the carrier's vessel or container, while the Port of Delivery is the final destination where the goods are delivered to the consignee. The Port of Discharge is typically a seaport, while the Port of Delivery can be an inland location away from the port.
