Service Bill 1 :
A service Bill (of Lading) is a contract of carriage issued by one carrier to another for documentary and internal control purposes. For internal documentary and control purposes a so-called participating agent in a consortium uses some kind of document which, depending on the trade, is referred to as ‘Memo Bill’ which will among others state: • Name of Carrier on whose behalf the original document (Way Bill, Bill of Lading, etc). was issued • The original document number • The agent who issued the original document and his opponent at the discharging side • The number of packages, weight and measurement, marks and numbers and goods description • Further mandatory details in case of special cargo • No freight details will be mentioned and the Memo Bill is not a contract of carriage.
