Seawaybill

Bill of lading for port-to-port or combined transport. A waybill is the same as a negotiable bill of lading unless it is not a document of title.

What is Seawaybill?

Such documents have not been issued in original. In jurisdictions such as the United States, a waybill is considered the equivalent of an entrusted (direct) bill of lading.
