It sets out representations by the requestor regarding lawful entitlement to delivery and requests delivery to the identified party. In return, the requestor undertakes to indemnify owners, managers, servants, and agents for all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses arising from such delivery, including litigation costs and arrest, detention, or interference related to vessels or associated property. The terms end once original bills of lading are received, and the indemnity is governed by English law.","A Standard Form Letter of Indemnity to be given in return for Delivering Cargo Without Production of the Original Bill of Lading\nImportant\nDelivery of cargo without presentation of the original bill of lading will take an owner/carrier or other recipient of a Letter of Indemnity outside the scope of their P&I cover.
