The bill of lading (B/L) which certifies that the specified goods have been received in apparent good order and condition from the named shipper (consignor), and have been taken aboard the named ship (vessel) on the stated date. This document is not a receipt for cargo received on board only but is an evidence of the contract between shipper and shipowner. It is also evidence of title to the goods described on it. Establishes the terms of a contract between a shipper and a transportation company under which freight is to be moved between specified points for a specified charge. Usually prepared by the shipper on forms issued by the carrier, it serves as a document of title, a contract of carriage, and a receipt for goods.
