5.1.6 Summary on Signing No-SGS Documents
Terminal and ship's paperwork are written specifically to protect their interests, which are frequently opposite to those of our clients or us. If counter signing is required, our aim should be that other parties countersign our documents - not the other way around. It does not benefit anyone for there to be more than one version of the same document in circulation, as this opens up the possibility that the documents will contradict one another in some respect.
