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.
