Document background
The Bill of Lading Dangerous Goods is a critical document used in maritime shipping when transporting hazardous materials under German jurisdiction. It combines the traditional functions of a bill of lading (receipt for goods, document of title, and evidence of contract of carriage) with specific requirements for dangerous goods transport under German and international law. This document must comply with the German Commercial Code, IMDG Code, and GGVSee regulations, making it essential for any shipment of dangerous goods entering, leaving, or transiting through German ports. It contains detailed information about the nature of hazardous materials, safety measures, emergency procedures, and liability provisions, serving as a key document for all parties involved in the dangerous goods supply chain.
