We have updated our electronic bill of lading standard (eBL Standard) for the bulk shipping sector, supporting the industry’s transition from paper to digital trade documentation. The updated eBL Standard is a structured dataset consisting of 36 predefined data fields common to bulk shipping bills of lading. By establishing a common industry standard, BIMCO aims to support interoperability and accelerate the adoption of electronic bills of lading. As a founding member of the Future International Trade (FIT) Alliance, BIMCO continues to work with the industry to promote the digitalisation of global trade.on.
