The first is to attest to the <strong>delivery of the goods<\/strong> on board the ship, the second is proof of the <strong>contract of carriage<\/strong>, and finally, it is a means of transferring the<strong> rights to the goods in transit<\/strong> to the other party by transmitting the document on paper.<\/p>\n<p>All logistics operators, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocklogistic.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stock Logistic<\/a>, use the Bill of Lading in their daily operations without exception, and as we have already discussed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocklogistic.com\/en\/what-are-the-main-differences-between-the-bill-of-lading-and-the-sea-waybill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a world increasingly <strong>dominated by new technologies<\/strong> that are applied in all economic sectors, the <strong>digitisation<\/strong> of this type of document has begun to take shape.

They have started to use <strong>electronic bills of lading at a regional level,<\/strong> and later on, at an international level. Some experts suggest that the electronic document will eliminate the paper trail, its <strong>associated costs and the possibility of fraud.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, the acceptance of the electronic bill of lading<strong> depends very much on the incorporation of all these conventions and international recommendations into the domestic legislation of States<\/strong>. Normally, the electronic bill of lading works with two systems of contractual scope such as the Bolero system and the one adopted by the International Maritime Committee.<\/p>\n<h2>Limits of eB\/L<\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; For decades, operators have used paper bills of lading and the only way to <strong>encourage economic operators<\/strong> to use bills of lading is to increase confidence in these systems.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Lack of legal certainty<\/strong>: there is a need to equalize the level of legal certainty between the electronic and physical environment.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Difficulties in accessing new technologies<\/strong> for SME freight forwarders and fully developing e-business as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bill of Lading, or B\/L, is a document that is always used in maritime transport and fulfils three fundamental functions.
