The Marine Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in maritime trade, essential for international shipping transactions under Maltese jurisdiction. It is required whenever goods are transported by sea, serving as evidence of the carrier's receipt of cargo, proof of the contract of carriage, and a transferable document of title. The document must comply with Malta's Commercial Code, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, and international maritime conventions, particularly the Hague-Visby Rules. It includes crucial information such as cargo details, shipping terms, vessel information, and parties involved in the transaction. The Marine Bill of Lading is particularly important in international trade finance, as banks often require it as part of documentary credit operations.
