(Yicai) Oct. 19 -- The shipping industry has been driving digitisation, what is the latest progress? What are the difficulties? Yicai had an interview with Mr. Bertrand Chen, CEO of Global Shipping Business Network(GSBN). He told the journalist that GSBN has been advocating the adoption of electronic Bill of Lading(eBL). If fully realised, this could potentially save more than 440,000 tons of carbon emissions annually. In addition to reducing the use of paper, the adoption of eBLs helps unlock new economic value for global trade participants. However, the undertaking is laden with a multitude of challenges.
