A Multimodal Bill of Lading FBL is an international transport document
covering two or more modes of transport, such as shipping by road and by sea.
It is also used as a carriage contract and receipt that the goods have been
received. When it is issued “to the order”, the Multimodal Bill of Lading is
title of ownership of the goods and can therefore be negotiated.
Only authorized forwarders integrated into FIATA (International Federation
of Freight Forwarders Associations) can issued this document. It is addressed
to the exporter, Multimodal Transport Operator on destination country, and
the importer.
