The Combined Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in Australian maritime commerce that evolved to meet the complex needs of modern international trade. This document type emerged as a response to the need for more flexible documentation that could serve multiple purposes in shipping transactions. It incorporates elements of both traditional bills of lading and sea waybills, making it particularly versatile for various trading arrangements. The Combined Bill of Lading is especially useful when shipments may require both negotiable and non-negotiable features, or when the final delivery terms might need to be modified during transit. Under Australian jurisdiction, it must comply with the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1991 (Cth) and related state legislation, while also adhering to international maritime conventions. It's commonly used in both liner shipping and charter party arrangements, providing comprehensive documentation of cargo details, contract terms, and title transfer rights.
