The fourth and the last issue in this case is the bill of lading. Bill of lading is one of the most important documents in a contract of carriage. It is formed between the shipper (seller or buyer) and the carrier (transport company).

Bowen argues that the shipper prefer to retain one of them for their own protection against loss. Therefore,
