Covid-19 & Bill of lading

Abstract

Last year, I asked a question “Electronic bill of lading - are you and your country ready for it?” This was a question I asked last year! This question could not be more relevant than it is today, considering the current circumstances and the impact of COVID-19 on the shipping and freight industry. An electronic bill of lading is a paperless bill of lading issued electronically instead of being printed on paper and issued physically to the customer as a hard copy.
