SWB
DocumentationSea Waybill
A non-negotiable shipping document that lets the named consignee collect cargo without presenting an original.
In practice
Evidence of receipt and contract but not a document of title. Cargo is released to the consignee on proof of identity. Ideal for shipments between related companies or where payment is already secured, since nothing has to be couriered.
Seen in the wild
Please issue as SWB, no originals required.
