HB公司国际贸易纠纷
HB国际货运代理公司是一家大型船舶公司的口岸公司,依托其母公司的船队优势,开展国际货运代理业务。同时作为母公司的船务代理公司,负责母公司船舶在该口岸的船舶代理及现场管理业务。这家船舶公司在国内有43个分公司,分布于沿海小港口和内陆城市。每个分公司从事领域内的国际、国内集装箱货运代理、散杂货运代理、国际多式联运、订舱、报关报验、集装箱的拼、拆箱、仓储、保险代理、公路运输及集装箱船舶现场管理、集装箱管理等业务。作为一家口岸的货运代理公司,实质上是帮助客户进行出口贸易,提供专业的服务。除了为客户租船订舱外,还要帮助客户报关、报检、办理保险、结算运费。货运代理业提供的产品就是服务,但这种服务没有船东的支持是很难运作的。
印度一家矿产公司于2005年2月18日从PARADIP PORT发运了两批铁矿石,一批为22421WMT(含量为63.5%/62.5%),一批为19881WMT(含量为63.5%/62.5%)。贸易条件为CFR,货值为USD3063676.88。矿产公司的货运代理为HB公司,实际承运人为一家韩国船东。矿产公司与英国一家冶金公司有着经常性的业务往来,冶金公司于2005年3月向矿产公司购买了这两批货后,将货转卖给我国M省的一家钢铁公司,钢铁公司要求将货物卸到E港,并在与冶金公司签订合同后,立即安排开立信用证和接货工作。在交易完成后,冶金公司按合同要求向矿产公司支付了合同款项,取得了提单。
船舶于3月26号抵达E港,M省的钢铁公司在E的办事处指示其代理完成了水尺和商检报验,3月28号,船舶卸完船后离港。但在开展业务过程中矿产公司因为对HB公司的信誉问题不敢认可,担心将运费支付后,HB公司不支付给韩国船东,而没有向HB公司支付运费。韩国船东因未收到运费,根据提单条款于4月5号向法院申请了USD700000的货物留置,申请的财产保全期为15天。M省钢铁公司在接货时得知因运费支付问题可能影响货物交付,同时一些政策表明货物可能跌价,钢铁公司提出拒收货物并向冶金公司提出索赔,扣留了商检通关单。因为通关延迟,产生了巨额的滞报费。
