Yes, it can be . but there are risks if the re-issuing BL is late, you will be pay more.

waiting for DO will be more costing (Detention fees, amended charges ..ect)

Also, It depends on  certification & classifcations of vessels and some agreement conditions will help.

If any details to be amended have not been mentioned in export shipping documents, the carrier can not amend bill of lading. In such cases, exporter or his customs broker need to amend the said shipping documents with customs firstly and after completion of such amendment in shipping bill, he can approach shipping liner(carrier) to amend Bill of Lading accordingly, If an amendment is required once after submitting original bill of lading with shipper’s bank, the overseas buyer can amend the said original bill of lading once after receiving BL from his bank through shipper’s bank. At this time, the consignee needs to approach the shipping liner’s counter part office at consignee’s location. The carrier (shipping company) at consignee’s location needs a ‘No Objection’ letter or message to amend bill of lading from his counter part at load port who issued Bill of Lading. In turn, the shipping company at load port confirms the details to his counterpart at destination regarding amendment of BL. The freight forwarder at load port provides ‘no objection’ up to the extent of information available in export shipping bill submitted by exporter. If consignee needs to amend any details other than the details declared in export shipping bill, the exporter (shipper) can amend shipping bill at load port with customs and submit such amended shipping bill with shipping company , so as to enable him to send a ‘no objection’ to amend such information to include in bill of lading.
