We may encounter some special bills of lading when we carry out maritime activities. So today we will summarize some special bills of lading in the ocean bills of lading.
1. Consolidated bill of lading
Combined bill of lading refers to the issuance of a bill of lading by combining two or more batches of the same or different goods shipped by the same ship at the same port of loading, the same port of discharge and the same consignee according to the requirements of the shipper. In order to save freight, the shipper or consignee often requires the carrier to combine the goods that should belong to the * low freight bill of lading with other goods that have been issued with a separate bill of lading and issue only one bill of lading.
2. Combined bill of lading
This refers to two or more batches of liquid bulk cargoes with the same variety, quality, port of loading and port of discharge, but belonging to different consignees, which are loaded in the same liquid cargo hold. When a bill of lading is issued for the consignee of each batch of cargoes, the bill of lading with the seal of "consolidation clause" is called a consolidation bill of lading. In the case of issuing and loading the bill of lading, a main consignee (usually the consignee with large batch number) shall be determined among several consignees, and the main consignee shall be responsible for sharing the natural loss and foot loss of the goods that each consignee shall share.
3. Separate bill of lading
This means that the carrier, according to the requirements of the shipper, signs several bills of lading separately for the same batch of goods with the same marks, goods types and grades on the same loading order. This kind of bill of lading is called separate bill of lading for the convenience of the consignee at the port of destination. Only the same batch of goods with the same marks, goods types and grades can be issued with separate bills of lading. Otherwise, the carrier's burden of tallying and marking fees will be increased due to tallying at the port of discharge. In general, there is no restriction on separate bills of lading except that the number of bulk oil * is not more than 5 sets.
4. Exchange of bills of lading
It refers to that under the condition of direct transportation, at the request of the shipper, the carrier undertakes to issue another set of bills of lading with the midway port as the port of departure but still with the original shipper as the shipper at an agreed midway port against the bill of lading issued at the port of departure, and indicate that "this bill of lading shall be recovered at the midway port and another bill of lading with the midway port as the port of departure" or "switch B / L" shall be issued.
When the trade contract stipulates that a specific port is the loading port, and the seller, as the shipper, has to load at a port other than the specific port due to the reason of cargo preparation, in order to meet the requirements of the trade contract and the letter of credit on the loading port, this alternative approach is often adopted, requiring the carrier to issue this exchange bill of lading.
5. Deck cargo bill of lading
Deck bill of lading is also called deck bill of lading. This refers to the bill of lading marked "on deck" when the goods are carried on the open deck.
6. Parcel bill of lading
Suitable for small amount of goods, luggage or samples.
7. Container bill of lading
The container bill of lading is the main shipping document under the container cargo transportation. The operator or its agent in charge of the container transportation issues the bill of lading to the shipper after receiving the container cargo.
