The bill of lading is a key document. It is issued by the carrier to a shipper and serves as a receipt for goods shipped, evidence of the contract of carriage, and a document of title. It is an important document in international maritime trade as it serves as proof of ownership and provides legal protection for both the shipper and the carrier. It also serves as an invoice for payment and can be used to obtain insurance coverage.
A letter of indemnity is a document used in international maritime transportation to protect the carrier from any financial losses or liabilities. It is typically used when the carrier is asked to release the cargo without the original B/L available upon arrival at the discharging port if the cargo destination is changed or the cargo is traded and split up. The letter of indemnity serves as an agreement between the shipper and carrier that the shipper will be responsible for any losses incurred due to their negligence or lack of documentation.
