Evergreen opts for paperless documentation

Evergreen Line has introduced a paperless Bill of Lading (B/L) and dispatch documentation via its ShipmentLink digital portal, hoping to enhance connectivity for exporters and importers with banks, insurers, regulators, customs and port authorities.

The new services, provided in partnership with Bolero International, aim to lower shippers’ costs while making data transfer more accurate, efficient, reliable and secure.

Container shippers could benefit from the rapid issuance and transmission of the intelligent i-B/L, which is particularly useful for short-sea shipments when a paper B/L can arrive later than a vessel, causing importers to pick up cargo late.
