Document background
The One Bill of Lading is a crucial document in maritime trade, particularly within Singapore's jurisdiction as a major global shipping hub. It serves three essential functions: receipt for cargo, evidence of the contract of carriage, and document of title to the goods. Used when goods are transported by sea, it contains detailed information about the shipment, including vessel details, cargo description, and parties involved. The document is governed by Singapore's Bills of Lading Act and international maritime conventions, providing a standardized framework for global trade transactions.
