The main difference between "CMR" and FBL (Fiata) and BL ,bills of lading is that the bill of lading is a document of ownership and can be transferred, but CMR cannot be transferred or backed up and is not a document of ownership of goods.
"CMR" in addition to overseeing the relationship between the carrier, the sender and the receiver, creates insurance coverage for the responsibility of carrier companies , By insuring "CMR", the responsibility of the shipping companies is insured.
