Port to Port Bill of Lading

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Port-to-Port Bill of Lading. It is the bill of lading covering shipment by sea only. The shipper/vendor is responsible for transporting the products to the port of loading. The buyer is responsible for picking the products up at the port of discharge. Multimodal, rather than port-to-port, bills of lading should generally be used for containerized shipments and other shipments where the place of receipt and/or the place of delivery is inland.
