The On Deck Bill of Lading is a crucial maritime transport document used when cargo must be explicitly carried on the deck of a vessel rather than in its holds. This document is essential in Belgian maritime trade operations where deck carriage is necessary due to cargo size, nature, or specific requirements. It provides clear documentation of the deck carriage agreement, which carries different liability implications compared to under-deck cargo transport. The document must comply with Belgian maritime law, including the Belgian Maritime Code, while also adhering to international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules. It includes detailed cargo descriptions, specific deck stowage arrangements, and additional terms addressing the increased risks associated with deck transport. This type of Bill of Lading is particularly important for project cargo, oversized equipment, containers, or goods that require special handling or ventilation.
