Abstract
An oft-criticised decision in The Rafaela S found a straight bill of lading to be a `bill of lading or
similar document of title' under the Hague Rules and presumably under common law. This
article seeks to contribute to the debate by arguing that the straight bill of lading is
unlikely to be a document of title in common law. However, it may be regarded as a bill of
lading or similar document of title under the Hague-Visby Rules.The article further analyses
the future of the straight bill of lading in light of the Rotterdam Rules.
