Sea Waybill

Sea Waybill


A Sea Waybill is a document issued by a carrier or shipping line to confirm the receipt of goods intended for sea transport. Unlike a Bill of Lading, a Sea Waybill is non-negotiable, meaning it doesn't transfer ownership of the goods and isn't necessary for releasing the cargo at the destination.
Its primary purpose is to serve as a receipt for the shipment and contains crucial information such as the names and addresses of the shipper and consignee, details about the goods, the planned shipping route, and any specific instructions. The Sea Waybill facilitates efficient handling and tracking of the cargo throughout its sea voyage.
