The risk of additional expenses for making up the difference of transportation fee adjustmemt


Explanation:
I believe it means to update the transportation charges as soon as possible so as not to lead to the problem of shippers making additional payment for the difference later

港口设施更新滞后:

国际贸易“东风压倒西风”,欧美港口设施更新滞后

  随着以中国为主的亚洲国家对外贸易及集装箱运输的快速发展,欧盟和北美等国的港口设施已经越来越不能满足亚洲船舶的需要。

  针对此问题,在上海举行的第24届世界港口大会上,交通部部长张春贤表示,“国家会支持中国的港口、航运企业到海外投资管理和经营港口码头。”

  会上,欧美港口设施滞后制约集装箱贸易发展的问题成为焦点。香港招商局集团公司总裁傅育宁表示,“去年已经显示出太平洋和大西洋两岸港口基础设施能力的不平衡。我国和东亚正在向港口基础设施投入大量资金,而太平洋另一边的国家,其在更新能力方面的落后,将对全球集装箱贸易的持续增长构成大挑战。”

Background:
the bill of lading is an important document of ownership. It confers 'title' to the goods. It is necessary both to take delivery of the goods and for banks to release payment to the shipper (if I remember correctly). If there are variations from what is stipulated on the bill of lading, then there are problems. I think the Bill of Lading needs to be altered? (reissued I haven't heard of, maybe replaced/renewed??? that's a guess). Anyhow there are certain difficulties. a clean bill of lading is desirable. changes may result in amendments to the B/L (a 'dirty' bill of lading) Perhaps that is what this is referring to???

Explanation:
while effectively shrinking from the risk of freight recovery caused by freight system updating lagging behind B/L issuing
这句话里“更新”应该算是个名词,而“更新运费系统”中的“更新”才是动词。 “滞后”是动词。
