The bill of lading (B/L) plays a vital part in shipping goods by sea and serves the following functions:

  1. A document of title, providing evidence of ownership of the goods described in the B/L.
  2. A receipt for goods received by the carrier.
  3. Evidence of the contract of carriage between shipper and carrier.

The correct completion and handling of the B/L is imperative to reduce the carrier’s risk of liability for cargo related claims.
