This third edition has been updated to include electronic Bills of Lading. ‘I have noticed a distinct casualness by shippers, receivers and their agents at load/discharge ports about the importance to the master of Bills of Lading. Conclusion: they are ignorant of its legal purposes.’ Strong words, but possibly true. Although the bill of lading is a key document in a transaction where the cargo and freight together may be worth several millions of dollars, masters who are diligent or cautious in their handling of that document may often be seen by others as obstructive or awkward. If masters are to stand their ground and justify their stance, then they may need to know not only what they have to do, but why they are doing it. The aim of this guide is to assist ship’s officers, operators and managers in the understanding of Bills of Lading and the problems and practical issues surrounding their everyday use. The hope is that they will then be able to deal with these situations and the many others that arise in connection with what is a vital and unique document. :
