(2)Under such a term unless otherwise agreed
(a)the seller must discharge all liens arising out of the carriage and furnish the buyer with a direction which puts the carrier under a duty to deliver the goods ; and
(b)the risk of loss does not pass to the buyer until the goods leave the ship's tackle or are otherwise properly unloaded.
