The Combined Transport Bill of Lading is an essential document in international trade and logistics, particularly relevant under Malta's sophisticated maritime law framework. It is used when goods are transported using multiple modes of transportation (such as sea, road, rail, or air) under a single contract. This document serves three crucial functions: as a receipt confirming the carrier's possession of goods, as evidence of the transport contract, and as a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership. The document must comply with Maltese Commercial Code, EU regulations, and international conventions, making it particularly suitable for operations involving Malta's busy ports and logistics infrastructure. It includes comprehensive details about the cargo, transport conditions, liability regimes for different transport modes, and specific provisions for the transfer of title.
