Currently the below TMSs, eBL providers and other platforms have signed the agreement to implement the digital FBL.

Towards interoperability

In 2022, FIATA, along with the DCSA, ICC, BIMCO and SWIFT, created the Future International Trade (FIT) Alliance and signed a Memorandum of Understanding to standardise the digitalisation of international trade. The industry associations collaborate on the development and adoption of relevant standards to facilitate the use of electronic bills of lading.

A key focus of the collaboration is to facilitate interoperability between all actors of the supply chain, allowing them to exchange data seamlessly, using the platform of their choice, through the use of standards.

Secured digital FIATA BLs for software providers 

The eFBL data standard and the dedicated API to connect to FIATA to generate secured digital FIATA BLs are available for free to all software providers interested to implement this new service. 

The eFBL data standard is aligned with the UN/CEFACT MMT Reference Data Model to facilitate interoperability with existing standards and the different actors of the supply chain. 

The eFBL data standard and the API technical specifications are available on our GitHub repository
