Type of ocean bill of lading:
1. According to whether the goods have been loaded ON board, they can be divided into SHIPPED bill of lading (SHIPPED ON BORAD B/L) and a standby bill of lading (RECEIVEDFOR SHIPMENT B/L). The former refers to the bill of lading issued after the goods have been loaded on board, and the latter refers to the bill of lading issued when the carrier has taken over the goods and is ready for shipment. In the trade contract, the buyer generally requires the seller to provide the shipped bill of lading, because the name and date of shipment are on the board of lading, and the consignee is guaranteed on time.
2. According to the appearance of the goods, the bill of lading may be divided into a clean bill of lading (CLEANB/L) and a clean bill of lading (FOUL OR FOUL B/L). The former refers to a bill of lading which is in good condition when the goods are loaded on board and is generally not added to the goods and/or packed with defects. In foreign trade, Banks are required to provide a clean bill of lading for security reasons. The latter refers to a bill of lading made by the carrier on the bill of lading which has been filled with the goods and/or the defective packing condition or defects.
3. According to different modes of transportation, bill of lading can be divided into DIRECT B/L, TRANSHIPMENT B/L, THROUGH B/L and COMBINED TRANSPORT B/L. A direct bill of lading is a bill of lading issued by the carrier for direct shipment to the port of destination by the port of shipment. A bill of lading issued by the port of destination when the port of shipment is not directly bound for the port of destination is called transshipment bill of lading. If the goods are to be transported to the port of destination by two or more paragraphs, one of which is by sea, the bill of lading issued by the sea, sea, air, sea or sea is called the combined transport bill of lading. So transhipment bill of lading is actually one of the bill of lading. In the case of joint transport, a bill of lading issued by the carrier must be a coherent transport of two or more different modes of transport. Therefore, the combined transport bill of lading is also called multimodal transport bill of lading. In actual business at present, many ship companies have combined transport bill of lading and combined transport bill of lading to use the same format, just when used as a combined transport bill of lading, must be shown on the bill of lading, port of shipment and the port of destination also listed the goods, place and name of transport, etc.
