The Sea Way Bill serves as a fundamental document in maritime transport, particularly when the negotiability of a Bill of Lading is not required. This document is commonly used in situations where the buyer (consignee) is known and trusted, and there is no intention to sell the goods while in transit. Governed by Belgian law and international maritime conventions, the Sea Way Bill includes crucial information such as vessel details, cargo description, parties involved, and terms of carriage. It is particularly useful in container shipping and regular trade routes where rapid release of cargo is prioritized. The document combines the functions of a contract of carriage and a receipt for goods, while complying with both the Belgian Maritime Code and international shipping practices.
