In case of a transferable documentary credit, the beneficiary named therein may request the issuing or nominated bank to transfer all or part of the documentary credit to another beneficiary.

In all other transport documents except charter party bills of lading and courier and post receipts, transhipment is allowed even if the documentary credit prohibits it, provided that the entire transport route is covered by a single document.
