Transport / Transportation / Shipping
French term or phrase: enlèvement à quai
Lors de la mise à disposition de la marchandise dans les entrepôts XXX XXX (expédition franco) ou ceux du FOURNISSEUR (enlèvement à quai) des contrôles à réception peuvent systématiquement être réalisés

From general conditions for suppliers of this firm.

The meaning is clear enough - but what is the technical term? I googled 'collection/pick up from quay/wharf/platform/bay' with little success.

Thanks for any help.

neutral  CMJ_Trans (X): it talks about "les entrepôts du fournisseur" so where is the ship in all that?

agree  sujata: This is the right explanation. It is an incoterm used in international trade, which explains upto which point the responsibility of the goods lies with which party - the seller or the buyer.

  -> Thanks Sujata. I see you are specialising in transport/shipping.
disagree  Lidija Lazic: le quai est par définition une surélevation par rapport à la chaussée ou un cours d'eau, ici on parle d'entrepôts, il s'agit des quais de chargements/déchargements;

  -> The thought crossed my mind too. In that case they should use another word and not quai.
