The Bill of Lading On Board is a fundamental document in maritime shipping and international trade. It serves three essential functions: acknowledging receipt of goods, evidencing the contract of carriage, and serving as a document of title. Used primarily in ocean freight shipping, it is governed by U.S. federal maritime laws, including COGSA and the Pomerene Act. The document includes detailed information about the shipped goods, parties involved, vessel details, and terms of carriage. It's particularly important in international trade finance, as banks often require an 'on board' notation to confirm goods have been loaded before processing letters of credit.
