Ocean Bill of Lading
- A receipt for the cargo and a contract for transportation between a
shipper and the ocean carrier. It may also be used as an instrument of
ownership which can be bought, sold, or traded while the goods are in
transit. To be used in this manner, it must be a negotiable "Order"
Bill-of-Lading.- A Clean Bill-of-Lading is issued when the shipment is
received in good order. If damaged or a shortage is noted, a clean
bill-of-lading will not be issued.- An On Board Bill-of-Lading certifies
that the cargo has been placed aboard the named vessel and is signed by the
master of the vessel or his representative. On letter of credit
transactions, an On Board Bill-of-Lading is usually necessary for the
shipper to obtain payment from the bank. When all Bills-of-Lading are
processed a ship's manifest is prepared by the steamship line. This
summarizes all cargo aboard the vessel by port of loading and discharge. -
An Inland Bill-of-Lading (a waybill on rail or the "pro forma"
bill-of-lading in trucking) is used to document the transportation of the
goods between the port and the point of origin or destination. It should
contain information such as marks, numbers, steamship line, and similar
information to match with a dock receipt.
