28.Specified dock discharge: If the Carrier makes a special agreement, whether by stamp hereon or otherwise, to deliver the goods hereby receipted for at a specified dock or wharf at the port of discharge, such agreement shall be construed to require the Carrier to make delivery at such specified dock or wharf only if, in the sole judgment of the master, the ship can safely under her own power, proceed to, lie at, and return from said dock or wharf, always afloat at any time of tide, and only if such dock or wharf is available to the ship immediately the ship is ready to discharge the goods. In the event such specified dock or wharf is unavailable as above provided, the goods may be discharged at or onto any wharf, craft or place that the Carrier may select. All other provisions of this bill of lading shall apply whether the goods are discharged at a specified dock or wharf or elsewhere.
29.The contract evidenced by this bill of lading is between the shipper and the owner of the ship named herein (or substitute), and it is therefore agreed that said shipowner only shall be liable for any loss, damage or delay due to any breach or non-performance of any obligation arising out of the contract of carriage, whether or not relating to the vessel's seaworthiness; if the ship named herein (or substitute) is under bareboat charter, the bareboat charterer shall be deemed the shipowner. If, despite the foregoing, it is adjudged that any other is the Carrier and/or bailee of the goods shipped hereunder, all limitations of, and exonerations from, liability provided for by the law or by this bill of lading shall be available to such other.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the master of the said vessel by his agent has signed THREE (3) Bills of Lading, all of this tenor and date, and if one is accomplished, the others shall be void.
