What should a master do at a loading port where a contractual lien for demurrage is given by the charter party terms, and demurrage is due but not paid?

 Clause the bill of lading to the effect that demurrage is due but has not been paid, so that the lien can be exercised if necessary at the discharge port.

    Could a master clause a bill of lading in the previous question without making it “dirty”?

    What precautions should a master take when he is required to sign bills of lading under a charter party, and the charterer’s bills are to be used?
