The Multimodal Transport Bill of Lading is a crucial document in international trade and logistics, particularly relevant under Dutch law given the Netherlands' position as a major global logistics hub. This document is used when goods are transported using two or more modes of transport (such as sea, road, rail, or air) under a single contract with one carrier taking responsibility for the entire journey. It serves three primary functions: acting as a receipt for goods, evidencing the contract of carriage, and serving as a document of title. The document must comply with Book 8 of the Dutch Civil Code, relevant EU regulations, and international conventions governing different transport modes. It's particularly important for shipments passing through major Dutch logistics hubs like the Port of Rotterdam or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, where multiple transport modes are commonly combined.
