Sea Waybill

A Sea Waybill is a document issued by a sea carrier for the transport of goods. Unlike a bill of lading, it does not serve as a document of title, meaning it cannot be transferred to another party.

Issued by carriers like Maersk, CMA CGM, and Hapag-Lloyd, Sea Waybills specify cargo details, consignor, and consignee.

This document facilitates the release of goods to the named consignee without requiring the physical handover of paper documents.
