Document background
The Multimodal Transport Bill of Lading is essential for modern international trade where goods are transported using multiple modes of transportation under a single contract. This document, governed by Danish law and international conventions, is typically used when cargo moves through various transportation modes (sea, road, rail, or air) under the responsibility of a single transport operator. It serves three crucial functions: as a receipt for goods, evidence of the contract of carriage, and a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership. The document must comply with the Danish Merchant Shipping Act and relevant EU regulations while incorporating international shipping practices. It's particularly important for Danish businesses engaged in international trade and for foreign entities shipping goods through Danish territories or under Danish jurisdiction.
