The Bearer Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in international maritime trade, particularly crucial for operations under Belgian jurisdiction. It is used when parties require a negotiable document that can transfer title to goods in transit through simple physical delivery of the document. This type of Bill of Lading is especially relevant for transactions involving multiple sales during transit, documentary credit operations, and international commodity trading. Under Belgian law, these documents must comply with the modernized Belgian Maritime Code, the Hague-Visby Rules, and relevant EU regulations. The document contains essential information about the shipped goods, parties involved, vessel details, and terms of carriage, while its bearer nature makes it a powerful tool in international trade finance and logistics operations.
