MSC rolls out new electronic Bill of Lading May 3, 2021, by Jasmina Ovcina MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company is introducing an electronic bill of lading (eBL) for its customers, following a successful pilot phase. The company is using a solution on an independent blockchain platform WAVE BL. The system uses distributed ledger technology to ensure that all parties involved in a cargo shipment booking can issue, transfer, endorse and manage documents through a secure, decentralised network. “The eBL enables shippers and other key supply chain stakeholders to receive and transmit the bill of lading document electronically, without any change or disruption to day-to-day business operations,” MSC said.
