Hapag-Lloyd has taken one more step on its paperless journey with the launch of an electronic bill of lading which will be available to customers worldwide.
It has partnered with digital platform WAVE BL, and through this network, printing, signing, and releasing paper-based documents will come to an end, according to Juan Carlos Duk, managing director global commercial development at Hapag-Lloyd.
“The platform optimises the flow of cargo in a blockchain-backed digital infrastructure, taking the place of manual workflows in exchange for a more secure, automated solution, where carriers can issue, possess, transmit and sign documents within minutes,” he added.
