The Seaway BOL (Sea Waybill) is a critical transport document used in maritime shipping under Dutch jurisdiction. It serves as both evidence of the contract of carriage and confirmation of receipt of goods by the carrier. This document is particularly valuable when the trading of goods in transit is not anticipated, as it is non-negotiable. The Seaway BOL includes essential information such as cargo details, shipping terms, carrier and shipper information, and delivery instructions. It operates within the framework of Dutch maritime law, specifically under Book 8 of the Dutch Civil Code and relevant international conventions. The document is commonly used in established trading relationships where the consignee is known and fixed, offering a more efficient alternative to traditional Bills of Lading by simplifying the delivery process and reducing documentation complexities.
