Notify Party
Who the carrier contacts on arrival. Being notified confers no right to the goods.
Usually the consignee's customs broker rather than the consignee. The distinction matters on a negotiable bill: a bank can sit in the consignee box holding title while the buyer sits here and gets the arrival notice.
Left blank, the notice goes to the consignee, who may not be the party clearing the goods, and the first anyone hears about the vessel is when demurrage starts.
