Proses penerbitan B/L diawali dengan shipper melakukan perjanjian tertulis tentang
hak kuasa kepada pihak forwarder, dilanjutkan dengan shipper melakukan booking
container, costumer service akan menerima dokumen SI (Shipping Instruction)
sebagai dasar pembuatan B/L, kemudian diterbitkan D/O, untuk mendapatkan
container kosong atau empty container, melakukan pembayaran ketika sudah
mendapatkan jadwal keberangkatan kapal, membuat shipping request dan
menerbitkan draft B/L, ketika draft B/L disetujui dan tidak ada koreksi dari pihak
shipper bisa dilanjutkan dengan penerbitan dokumen B/L.
Dokumen B/L biasanya diterbitkan asli dalam 3 lembar dan semua salinan dari yang
asli ditandatangani. Jumlah B/L asli harus dinyatakan di dalam dokumen B/L, ketika
Letter of Credit (L/C) meminta full set B/L artinya semua dokumen B/L yang asli dan
salinannya harus ditandatangani, dan semuanya harus diserahkan kepada pihak bank.
Di Indonesia penerbitan B/L berjumlah 3 lembar asli, maka pengertian full set B/L
sama artinya dengan menerima 3 asli B/L. Tapi pada kenyataanya jumlah full set B/L
bisa 5, 6, atau 7 bahkan lebih tergantung permintaan shipper saat mengajukan
shipping instruction pada perusahaan perkapalan.
