The BOL Bill Of Lading under Belgian jurisdiction is a fundamental document in international maritime trade, essential for documenting the shipment of goods by sea. It serves three primary functions: acting as evidence of the contract of carriage between the shipper and carrier, providing a receipt for the cargo loaded onto the vessel, and serving as a document of title that enables the transfer of ownership of goods while in transit. This document must comply with the Belgian Maritime Code, relevant EU regulations, and international maritime conventions that Belgium has ratified, particularly the Hague-Visby Rules. It is commonly used in international trade transactions, especially when payment is made through documentary credit (letter of credit) arrangements. The document includes detailed information about the parties involved, cargo specifications, vessel details, and applicable terms and conditions of carriage.
