The Barge Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in inland waterway transport, particularly important in Belgium's extensive network of navigable rivers and canals. This document type is used when goods are transported by barge within Belgian waters or international inland waterways where Belgian law applies. The Barge Bill of Lading serves three primary functions: it acts as a receipt confirming the carrier's acceptance of goods, provides evidence of the contract of carriage, and serves as a document of title to the goods. The document must comply with Belgian Commercial Code, particularly Book II on Maritime and Inland Navigation, as well as international conventions such as the CMNI. It includes crucial information about the cargo, parties involved, voyage details, and terms of carriage, making it essential for both legal and operational purposes in inland waterway transport.
