The Direct Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in maritime trade, issued under Danish law and international maritime conventions. It is used when goods are directly consigned to a named consignee rather than being made 'to order', making it a crucial document for straightforward international trade transactions. The document incorporates provisions from the Danish Merchant Shipping Act and the Hague-Visby Rules, providing a legal framework that balances the interests of carriers and cargo owners. As a Direct Bill of Lading, it cannot be endorsed for transfer but serves as conclusive evidence of the cargo receipt and contract terms. This document is particularly important in cases where parties require a non-negotiable transport document that provides clear title to the goods while ensuring compliance with Danish maritime regulations and international shipping standards.
