This document falling in a separate category than sea shipment 'on board' notation has been adapted accordingly to ' indicate the date the goods accepted for shipment,dispatch or carriage'.
Since English is not my native language, I can only assume that it may be an technical as well as a legal expression established in international sea transport of goods.
However ,Cambridge Dictionary give a definition of 'on board' as 'on a boat, train or aircraft'
Sorry I could'nt help you more.

here is a definition of on board that i found on a Bill of lading
"on board means goods are laden on board the ocean vessel named on the bill of lading or loaded on board rail car, truck, lorries, feeder ships, burges or other means of transportation"
