(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. Acts 1963, ch. 81, § 1 (2-322).
