Document background
The Uniform Straight Bill of Lading Original Not Negotiable is a critical document in international shipping and trade, used when goods are intended for delivery to a specific consignee without the possibility of transfer. Governed by Singapore law, this document serves multiple functions: it acts as a receipt for goods, evidences the contract of carriage, and specifies delivery terms. The document includes detailed information about the parties involved, goods description, vessel details, and applicable terms and conditions. It's particularly useful in direct shipments where negotiability isn't required and is subject to Singapore's Bills of Lading Act and international maritime conventions.
