The World Transport Trade has many complexities and variables in its operations, which is especially known for its various types of cargo and documentary requirements, especially due to the variety of transport operations.
Pre -sale documents, documents during contract negotiations, pre -packaging documents, post -shipment documents, shipping documents, post -shipment documents, pre -payment documents, payment documents, documents during payment, documents after payment …………………. You take the drift ..
So it is natural for many people, even people in the business, to be a little surprised by these documents, and especially since most of the information is repeated in all of these documents.
One of the cases, which is mainly used, especially in bulk and bulk transactions, is the wife’s receipt. Receive the wifeSo don’t repeat it here ..
It has been received to any cargo loaded on bulk ships or breaking ships, as proof of its acceptance on the ship. This receipt is signed by the first spouse, who is responsible for the freight operation on the board of directors.
Receipt of a spouse, as standardized by Bimco, looks below ..


As you can see, it is quite similar to the details of the loading bill (eg Congenbill 2022 Bimco), which may be the cause of some confusion.


But this is where the resemblance ends ..
While the spouse’s receipt may be used to apply for billing, the spouse’s receipt is just a “receipt” of the goods, compared to a Ladin bill, which is G.
- A transit document
- Documents related to a carriage contract or carriage contract, depending on the type of contract
- Title document to goods
- Get the load
Why is the wife’s receipt important .. ??
The receipt of the spouse does not just say “We got your cargo”.. also records the condition of the cargo at the time of loading ..
For example, if the steel rods are rushed or the bags are torn, these statements will be recorded in the receipt. If there is no problem, the cargo is marked as “clean” ..
This small note has a big result:
- The receipt of a clean spouse allows the shipping company to issue a clean bill, and adapts it to credit and delivery letters.
- The receipt of the servant’s spouse (showing damages or defects) leads to “uploaded billing”, which can complicate sales contracts, banking negotiations and payment.
- Not just for “clean, on the board”, the spouse is also used to record the “quantity” of the goods received on the board. For example, if 190 steel strips were received, but the bill is issued as 200 steel strips, obviously there is a claim at the destination, in which case, the Mate reception will generally be used.
If you wonder why rotation reports were not used by ports and terminals for the same purpose, in the past loading and unloading operations were carried out using crane and crew, so it was responsible and Onus on the ship to record the correct amount of loaded on the board.
On modern days, the spouse’s receipt may also be cross -over -the -clock reports to ensure adaptation and prevent any dispute.
While some say technology advances, port transport operations and digitalization may have been reduced to the importance of a spouse, it is still widely used in bulk cargoes and breaking.
Note Note: Getting a spouse is never used in container cargoes, as as In the shipment of container, No one confirms the amount or quality of goods or even goods (scary thought).. This is merely based on the carrier’s announcement, and we all know how it works.
