Sea Waybill Parser

Sea waybills — express bills, straight consigned, no originals to surrender — carry the same operational data as a negotiable B/L, and cause the same retyping work. GainingDocx parses them with the same engine and the same deterministic checks.

The parser detects the document type automatically, so waybills, seaway bills and telex-released B/Ls all land in the same structured shape your exports and cross-checks expect.

  • Dates, freight terms and clauses

Deterministic checks

Computed in code — the AI never does the math.

  • ISO 6346 container check digits
  • UN/LOCODE port matching
  • Weight totals vs container sums
  • Date plausibility windows

Frequently asked questions

How is a sea waybill different from a Bill of Lading?

A sea waybill is not a document of title — cargo is released to the named consignee without surrendering originals. Operationally it carries the same data, which is why the same parser handles both.

Will the parser know it's a waybill and not a B/L?

Yes — document type detection runs in the same pass as extraction, and the detected type is stored with the parsed fields.

Can I cross-check a waybill against the invoice?

Yes — group them into a shipment and run Shipment Check to compare parties, containers, ports and totals.
