The Multimodal Transport Bill of Lading is a crucial document in international trade and logistics, specifically designed for shipments involving multiple modes of transport under Australian jurisdiction. It is used when goods need to be transported using a combination of sea, road, rail, or air transport under a single contract. The document incorporates requirements from the Australian Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1991, Sea-Carriage Documents Act 1996, and relevant international conventions. It serves three primary functions: acknowledging receipt of goods in a stated condition, evidencing the contract of carriage, and acting as a document of title to the goods. This comprehensive transport document is particularly important for door-to-door shipments where the transport operator assumes responsibility for the entire journey, regardless of the transport modes used.
