Carrier/Agent Shipping Co certificate

The cert has been issued by the carrier (Maersk Line) and has been signed by carrier stating that it is acting as agents of the parent , The Maersk Company Limited. I would regard this as being issued by the "shipping company" and therefore complying wih LC requirements.

I don't see how the agents are viewed as different by the discrepancy raising bank, unless a distinction is made between MAERSK LINE and MAERSK LINE UK. In any case, the LC simply requires a shipping company's certificate, and no requirements are prescribed in relation to the agents. Provided, the certificate has been issued by a shipping co, or its agent, (even though this might differ to the B/L) and can be linked to the underlying shipment by appropriate reference, I would not regard this as a discrepancy
