(1)   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.
  (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.
