Document background
The Bearer Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in international maritime trade, particularly significant under Danish jurisdiction which combines national maritime law with international conventions. This document type is used when cargo ownership needs to be transferable through simple physical delivery of the document, making it especially valuable in commodity trading and international sales transactions. It includes crucial information such as cargo details, shipping terms, and carrier obligations, all structured to comply with the Danish Merchant Shipping Act and relevant international maritime conventions. The Bearer Bill of Lading is particularly important in scenarios where the final receiver of the goods may not be known at the time of shipping, or where the cargo might be traded multiple times during transit.
