Why should I start to prepare?

The adoption of the eBL presents a significant opportunity to revolutionise centuries-old container shipping practices.  

While eBL solution providers’ key purpose is to facilitate the transfer of eBLs, a lack of interoperability between different eBL platforms constitutes a major barrier to adoption.  eBL Platform Interoperability allows stakeholders to work with their provider(s) of choice to communicate with partners across the supply chain, regardless of whether they are using the same platform – just as we do to transfer of other types of digital information.  

This not only supports wider eBL adoption and faster progress, but also creates a more level playing field for eBL providers – fostering innovation and creating a strong foundation for the development of new digital solutions in container shipping.
