The Simple Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in maritime transport and international trade, governed by Dutch law and international conventions. It is used when goods are transported by sea, providing evidence of the carrier's receipt of cargo, the conditions of carriage, and serving as a document of title to the goods. The document must comply with Book 8 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Hague-Visby Rules, while meeting international shipping standards. A Simple Bill of Lading is typically used for straightforward shipping arrangements where cargo is transported directly between two ports, unlike a Through Bill of Lading used for multimodal transport. It contains essential information about the shipment, parties involved, vessel details, and cargo specifications, enabling smooth international trade operations and facilitating trade finance through banks.
