The Hitchment Bill of Lading is a crucial document in Singapore's maritime trade, specifically designed for situations involving cargo transfer between vessels. This document type emerged from the need to maintain clear documentation and chain of custody when goods are transhipped during their journey. Under Singapore law, the Hitchment Bill of Lading serves multiple functions: it acts as evidence of the contract of carriage, a receipt for goods, and a document of title. It's particularly relevant in Singapore's role as a major transhipment hub, where cargo frequently changes vessels.
