Original bills of lading are used on an estimated five trillion dollars’ worth of containerized freight shipments every year, but these paper documents cost time and money to transact.
The TradeLens eBL is a standard, industry-supported, end-to-end digital solution that provides shippers, cargo owners and freight-forwarders a streamlined and secure process for the issue, transfer and surrender of original bills of lading.
Daniel Wilson spoke with Contour as part of Trade Finance Global’s fireside chat series. He outlined how the TradeLens platform brings shippers’ ecosystems together. The discussion covered how TradeLens is working with other platforms to achieve end-to-end digital solutions for customers. See the recording of the webinar below.

GatewayRail, India’s leading intermodal logistics service provider and rail-linked Inland Container Depots (ICD) operator, has become the first rail operator in India to join TradeLens. The association between GatewayRail and TradeLens is a major milestone in digitizing India’s vast inland container logistics ecosystem with a significant impact on efficiency gained by exporters and importers.
A common dilemma in organizations working with global logistics operations is: while the benefits of various products focused on digitizing supply chains and providing an extended track and trace functionality sound so appealing, is it worth the money?
AICT, one of Pakistan’s important container terminals in Karachi, has become the first inland depot operator in Pakistan to join TradeLens, a blockchain-powered digital container logistics platform. AICT is also the first network partner for TradeLens in Pakistan, thus leading the digitization journey of Pakistan’s container logistics and supply chain ecosystem.
