선화증권의 위기문제를 해결하기 위해 국제적으로 전자선화증권의 도입을 위해 노력하였고 해상운송장의 사용을 권고하여 왔다. 전자선화증권을 도입하기 위한 이러한 많은 노력에도 불구하고 전자선화증권이 실무에 도입되어 사용되지 않고 있는 상황에서 미주와 유럽에서는 해상운송장을 사용함으로써 실무적으로 선화증권의 위기문제에 대처하여 왔다. 그러나 한국, 중국, 일본에서는 해상운송장의 도입보다는 권리포기 선화증권을 이용함으로써 선화증권의 위기문제에 대처하는 실무관행이 이루어지고 있다. 권리포기 선화증권은 그 이름과 달리 선화증권의 유형으로서 법적으로 인정받을 수 없다는 문제점을 안고 있으며 권리포기 선화증권의 사용유형에 따라서 각국 법원의 판결내용도 상이하게 나타나고 있어 이에 대하여 실무적으로 유의할 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 권리포기 선화증권과 관련된 판례를 분석하여 유의사항을 도출함으로써 권리포기 선화증권의 이용에 따른 분쟁을 사전에 예방할 수 있도록 하는데 그 연구목적이 있다.

Two solution approaches have been suggested globally to solve the crisis of bill of lading; that is to say, electronic bill of lading and sea waybill. Electronic bill of lading is not unsettled as a solution to solve the crisis of bill of lading but sea waybill is used on a global basis to do so. The surrendered bill of lading is applied for practical usage instead of sea waybill in a short voyage among Korea, China, and Japan, owing to faster delivery at destination and lower cost than bill of lading. To surrender the original bill of lading, the consignor should submit all originals with a request letter to the carrier of goods with necessary surrender charges, if any, in doing so. Once after receiving the original bills of lading consisting of normally three originals but in some cases five, the carrier stamped "Surrendered" on the front of original bills of lading and sent a message to his counterpart at the port of destination, stating that the original bill of lading surrendered at the port of shipment and the consignee can take delivery of the goods without production of the original bill of lading at destination. The legal regime of the surrendered bill of lading is not settled as it is not considered legally as bill of lading, and the decisions rendered by each nation's courts are different according to the usages of the surrendered bill of lading. The purpose of this paper is to prevent the disputes between parties with regard to the surrendered bill of lading by studying the causes and precautions of disputes in relation to the surrendered bill of lading.

A bill of lading is a document which is signed by the carrier or his agent acknowledging that the goods have been shipped on board a named vessel bound for the destination and stating the terms on which the goods so received are to be carried. Therefore, the bill of lading is a document of title enabling the holder to obtain credit from banks before the arrival of the goods, for the transfer of the bill of lading can operate as a pledge of the goods themselves. In the other words the bill of lading creates a privity between its holder and the carrier as if the contract was made. A bill of lading, for obtaining credit from banks, must appear to indicate the carrier's name and signature, the "shipped on board" notation, the port of loading and unloading stated in the sales contract and the credit. Data in the bill of lading, when read in context with the sales contract, the credit, the bill of lading itself and international standard banking practice, need not be identical to, but must not conflict with, data in that bill of lading, any other stipulated document, the sales contract or the credit. The surrender bill of lading, stamping "surrendered" on the original bill of lading by request of the shipper, is not recognized the legal effectiveness as a document of title by the statutory law and court. The surrender bill of lading may increase the risk of impossibility of payment to the holder. Therefore, the surrender bill of lading should be used restrictively between the credible parties and suggested to avoid in the other cases.
