The Blank Back Form of Liner Bill of Lading is a bill of lading with no pre-printed terms and conditions on its backside. Instead, the relationship between the carrier and the shipper should be governed by the carrier’s standard conditions of carriage. If the carrier does not have any standard conditions of carriage, then this bill of lading will be subject to the terms and conditions of the CONLINEBILL bill of lading which was in force on the date when the Blank Back Form of Liner Bill of Lading was issued. The latest edition of this bill of lading is Blank Back Form of Liner Bill of Lading 2016. This amended edition has an updated layout and signature box.
