[e-bl]

The Bill of Lading (B/L) has been and still is one of the key documents in international trade. The first written B/L dates back to Italy in 1564. But the B/L was invented centuries before the first written version became available. The core function of a B/L has always been to provide:

  • Evidence of contract of carriage

  • Confirmation of receipt for the goods

  • A document of Title

Today, the B/L still serves these purposes. As a document of title (also termed negotiable document), the B/L is transferrable between parties based on rules in international trade law and local contract law. Unfortunately, electronic means of transferral are currently not recognised, which means the B/L must be printed to be legally valid.

B/L standardisation, and with that, the opportunity for digitalisation, must address regulatory change. The aim is a much more efficient and low-cost end-to-end documentation process, with less risk of fraud and human error, which will result in an improved customer experience.

The electronic version of the Bill of Lading (eBL) will enable all these benefits. The first attempt at creating an eBL was in the 1990s. However, research shows that today, only 0.1% of B/Ls are issued electronically. The global pandemic has exposed the urgent need for change.
