The Maritime Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in international shipping, essential for facilitating global trade under Maltese jurisdiction. It serves three crucial functions: acknowledging receipt of cargo, evidencing the contract of carriage, and acting as a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership. This document is required whenever goods are transported by sea, particularly in international trade scenarios where cargo ownership may need to be transferred while goods are in transit. The Bill of Lading must comply with the Maltese Merchant Shipping Act, relevant EU regulations, and international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules, making it a legally robust document acceptable in major trading nations.
