The On Deck Bill of Lading is a specialized maritime transport document essential for modern shipping operations where cargo needs to be carried on the vessel's deck rather than in holds. This document type is particularly crucial for oversized cargo, containers, or goods requiring special ventilation or handling. Under Dutch jurisdiction, it incorporates specific provisions from both domestic maritime law and international conventions, providing a legal framework for the carriage of deck cargo while explicitly acknowledging the associated risks and liability limitations. The document serves multiple functions: it acts as a receipt for goods, evidence of the contract of carriage, and a document of title that can be used in international trade transactions. It's particularly relevant for project cargo, container shipments, and specialized transport operations where deck stowage is necessary or preferred.
