UCP 600 article 39
  Question: Name: shahriar

What are the use of article 39 of theUCP 600?

To me it's just between the beneficiary and the entity to whom the proceed may be assigned.

 

 
  Answer (from Kim Christensen) It simply allows the beneficiary the right to assign its right to LC proceeds even if the LC is non-transferable - e.g. to the supplier or a secured lender.

One may argue that it is redundant - as such right would already exist. Many national Committees however asked for it to stay in UCP 600.
