Introduction
Overview
Having in the previous chapter considered various shipping documents which are typically issued prior to the receipt of the goods for shipment, we turn our attention now to the bill of lading and the various types which may be encountered in practice.1 After a brief consideration of the historical background, the remainder of the chapter looks at liner bills of lading, straight bills of lading, charterparty bills of lading, freight forwarders’ bills of lading, combined transport bills of lading, and multimodal bills of lading.
See also Gaskell (1999), para 1C.
Historical Background
Origins: no written document
The precise early history of the bill of lading2 is shrouded in some mystery but can be traced to the high middle ages,3 when many of the basic institutions and concepts of modern commercial law were being developed.4 The origins probably lie with the register book5 which ships’ clerks were obliged to maintain. Before the invention of a written document embodying the contract, the owner of the goods would have sailed with the ship.
