When bills of lading are made out, or endorsed, to a named consignee, then only that consignee can take delivery of the shipment. A B/L made out to a named consignee can be endorsed only by that consignee, not the shipper because it is a negotiable instrument.If the consignee is not known at the time the shipper instructs shipment on a particular vessel then the bills of lading may also be made out to order. In this case, only the party to whom they are endorsed with the words 'deliver to …' or 'deliver to the order of …' can take delivery. This endorsement is made by the shipper who is named on the B/L. Occasionally buyers stipulate in their shipping instructions that the goods be consigned to order.A bill of lading is a negotiable instrument and can be passed from a shipper through any number of parties, each party endorsing it to assign title to the next party. The only condition is that title can be assigned only by the party shown on the bill as having title at the time.
