The One Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in maritime transport and international trade, governed by Danish law and international conventions. It is used when goods are transported by sea, serving three essential functions: as a receipt confirming the carrier's possession of the cargo, as evidence of the contract of carriage, and as a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership rights to the goods while in transit. Operating under Danish jurisdiction, particularly the Danish Merchant Shipping Act and incorporating the Hague-Visby Rules, this document must contain specific information including carrier and shipper details, cargo description, vessel information, and terms of carriage. The One Bill of Lading is particularly crucial for international trade financing, customs procedures, and ensuring legal compliance in maritime transport operations involving Danish ports or vessels.
