Document background
The Split Bill of Lading is a crucial document in international maritime trade, particularly when operating under Danish jurisdiction. This document type is essential when there's a need to divide a single shipment into multiple portions, each requiring its own separate documentation. The Split Bill of Lading becomes necessary when dealing with bulk cargo shipments where different portions need to be transferred to various consignees, or when partial cargo sales occur during transit. Operating under Danish law, specifically the Danish Merchant Shipping Act and incorporating international maritime conventions, this document ensures legal compliance while facilitating flexible cargo handling. It contains detailed information about the original shipment, the split portions, and maintains the chain of title and liability arrangements between all involved parties.
