Seaway Bill

Seaway Bill

A Seaway Bill is a non-negotiable document issued by the carrier, serving as a receipt for the goods and enabling the consignee to claim the cargo without presenting a paper document.

A Sea Waybill is a transport document used in international shipping. Unlike a traditional Bill of Lading, a Sea Waybill is a non-negotiable document, meaning that the consignee is not required to present the original document to take possession of the goods.

Sea Waybill simplifies the cargo delivery process and is often used in cases where the shipment is straightforward and there is no requirement for additional documentation for the release of goods. This electronic or non-negotiable nature of the Sea Waybill streamlines the shipping process, offering efficiency and convenience in certain trade transactions.
