     § 2322.  Delivery "ex-ship."
        (a)  Definition.--Unless otherwise agreed a term for delivery
     of goods "ex-ship" (which means from the carrying vessel) or in
     equivalent language is not restricted to a particular ship and
     requires delivery from a ship which has reached a place at the
     named port of destination where goods of the kind are usually
     discharged.
        (b)  Effect.--Under such a term unless otherwise agreed:
            (1)  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
            (2)  the risk of loss does not pass to the buyer until
        the goods leave the tackle of the ship or are otherwise
        properly unloaded.
