A bill of lading (BOL) is a legal document between the shipper of goods and the carrier detailing the type, quantity, and destination of the goods being carried. The bill of lading also serves as a shipment receipt when the carrier delivers the goods at the predetermined destination. For both air and sea transport, BOL's contain specific information, although there might be some slight variations based on the mode of transportation.

BOL (Airway Bill)
The AWB contains essential information about the consignor, consignee, nature of the cargo, flight details, and terms of transportation. Unlike traditional bills of lading used in maritime shipping, an AWB is non-negotiable and signifies that the carrier has received the cargo for air shipment. It plays a crucial role in tracking, customs clearance, and ensuring the seamless movement of goods across the global air cargo network.
BOL (Seaway Bill)
This electronic or non-paper approach enhances efficiency and expedites the shipping process. The Seaway BOL includes essential information about the shipment, such as the type and quantity of goods, shipper and consignee details, and terms of transportation. It simplifies cargo handling and is particularly beneficial when goods are destined for parties who have a pre-existing relationship, thus eliminating the need for complex paper transactions.
