The bill of lading is a document and evidence of delivery of the cargo to the shipping line. After delivery of the full loaded containers to Hamburg Sud shipping line, the shipping company will issue the bill of lading based on a procedure. Having this bill of lading (BL) number, you can easily track your cargo via Hamburg Sud bill of lading tracking on Shipup.
