The Charterer's Bill of Lading is a specialized form of transport document used in maritime shipping when a vessel's charterer, rather than the vessel owner, issues the bill of lading. This document is particularly relevant in the Philippine context, where it must comply with the country's maritime regulations, including the Code of Commerce and COGSA. It is typically used when a charterer has leased a vessel and is operating it for their own cargo transport needs or as a carrier for third parties. The document includes crucial information such as cargo details, shipping terms, parties involved, and vessel information, while incorporating specific provisions required under Philippine law. It serves three essential functions: acting as a receipt for goods, evidencing the contract of carriage, and serving as a document of title that can be used in trade finance and cargo release operations.
