| 单词 | Waybill |
| 释义 | 運貨單 A receipt for goods received for shipment, evidencing a contract of carriage. It is prepared by a carrier, containing contractual terms and details of shipment, such as details of loading port, destination, shipper, consignee, description of shipment and amount charged for the transportation service. It constitutes written evidence of the shipment of the described goods in the event of any claim by or against the carrier and, in that respect, resembles a bill of lading, except that it is non-negotiable and is not a document of title. A waybill is used in the maritime context to avoid delay in discharge of cargoes, caused by the unavailability of bills of lading, especially in short voyages. Any delay may result in demurrage charges. Nowadays, the issue of waybills by means of electronic data interchange transmission reduces handling charges. Since a waybill is not a title document and is not negotiable, it is not suitable for use where bank finance is required for the shipment, or the actual cargo receiver is unknown. A ‘blanket waybill’ is a waybill covering more than one consignment of freight. See also Air waybill; Bill of lading; Consignee; Consignor; Contract of carriage; Sea waybill. 收到裝運貨物的收據，亦為運輸合約的證據。運貨單由承運人編制，包含合約條款及裝運詳情，如裝運港、目的地、付運人、收貨人詳情、裝運描述及運輸服務的費用。如承運人提起或遭受任何申索，運貨單將構成所述貨物裝運的書面證據，此時，其作用類似提單，但不可轉讓的非所有權文件的運貨單除外。運貨單用於海事背景中，以避免因提單無效（尤其在短途運輸中）所造成的卸貨延遲。任何延遲均將產生滯留費用。目前，透過電子數據交換傳輸發出運貨單可有效降低手續費用。由於運貨單並非業權文件且不可轉讓，故不適用於需要銀行財務的裝運，或不知實際貨物接管人的裝運。「一攬子運貨單」指涵蓋超過一種貨物托運的運貨單。另見 Air waybill; Bill of lading; Consignee; Consignor; Contract of carriage; Sea waybill。n. |
