Document background
The Multimodal Bill of Lading is essential for international trade involving multiple transport modes. It emerged from the need to have a single document covering the entire journey of goods, regardless of transport method changes. Under Singapore law, this document combines features of traditional bills of lading with modern multimodal transport requirements, providing legal certainty and protection for all parties involved. It includes detailed cargo information, transport conditions, liability terms, and serves as a transferable document of title, making it crucial for international trade financing.
