The Forwarder's Bill of Lading is essential in international trade and logistics operations, particularly within Singapore's maritime framework. It differs from a regular bill of lading as it's issued by a freight forwarder rather than a carrier, allowing for more flexible multimodal transport arrangements. The document evidences the contract of carriage, acts as a receipt for goods, and can serve as a document of title under Singapore law, making it crucial for international trade transactions and securing financial arrangements.
