Hapag-Lloyd Digitalizes Trade Documentation

The move by Hapag-Lloyd to a paperless methodology including the Bill of Lading and other vital trade documents opens the door for the use of a block-chain backed digital infrastructure. Printing, signing and releasing paper documents can become a process from the past and a more secure, automated solution also offers greater efficiency to businesses. Carriers can now issue, transmit and sign documents in minutes instead of taking one working day or longer.

 

The new procedure is a welcome development in a world of port congestion, increases in container prices and delivery delays offering Hapag-Lloyd customers an advantage in clearing their cargo.
