Document background
The Sea Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in maritime trade, essential for any business engaged in international shipping through Singapore's ports. This document serves three crucial functions: acknowledging receipt of goods by the carrier, evidencing the contract of carriage, and acting as a document of title. When conducting trade under Singapore jurisdiction, the Sea Bill of Lading must comply with local legislation including the Bills of Lading Act and incorporate standard trading terms. It contains vital information about the shipped goods, parties involved, and conditions of carriage.
