The Linear Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in maritime trade, particularly significant in the UAE's bustling shipping industry. It serves three essential functions: a receipt confirming the carrier's possession of goods, evidence of the contract of carriage, and a document of title enabling goods transfer during transit. Used when shipping goods through UAE ports, this document must comply with UAE Federal Law No. 26 of 1981 and relevant international maritime conventions. The Linear Bill of Lading is distinct from other types as it establishes a direct relationship between specific parties and cannot be negotiated to multiple parties. It's particularly crucial for UAE's maritime trade due to the country's position as a major global shipping hub and its extensive port infrastructure.
