The Hitchment Bill of Lading is a crucial document in Malaysian maritime trade, particularly utilized when cargo requires transshipment through intermediate ports before reaching its final destination. This specialized document emerged from the need to maintain clear documentation and chain of custody during complex shipping arrangements. It combines elements of a traditional bill of lading with specific provisions for transshipment operations, governed by Malaysian maritime law, particularly the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1950 and international conventions. The document is essential for international trade operations involving Malaysian ports or shipping lines, providing legal protection and clarity for all parties involved in the shipping process. A Hitchment Bill of Lading typically includes detailed information about multiple vessels, ports of call, and specific handling instructions for transshipment operations.
