One of the essentials in filling out this form is to have a copy of all the details of your shipment. It would save time in filling out, as well as making sure that all input is correct. Writing the right information on this contract is essential as it can serve as evidence of the transaction/agreement over the shipping of goods.
First, open the charter contract we have provided for you. Keep in mind that, the contract should show, the bill of lading or the contract for the shipping of individual parcels of cargo, and the charter parties or the contract for the exportation of bulk amount of goods.
Next, fill out the necessary information asked. It is during this time that a cheat sheet is most valuable. Given the importance of the document, it must be ensured that every information written is correct and clearly describes the goods to be shipped.
Next, double-check all filled out boxes for errors. A bill of lading, or any charter contract, is the most important document in the shipping industry. Its functions can be threefold – it can be a receipt, a document of title, and a contract, according to Tamimi. Given this nature of the document, there is a need to furnish a copy that is free from errors.
Lastly, go over the contract template together with your shipping provider. A mutual agreement on the matter will make it easier for both parties to carry out their own respective duties as stipulated in the charter.
