FIATA Liability Insurance Guidance release: FIATA brings much-awaited Guidance on Insurance requirements for FBL
FIATA is excited to launch a new guidance on the liability insurance requirements for the FIATA Multimodal Transport Bill of Lading (FBL). This timely guide follows the launch of the digital FBL solution in mid-2022, which brought to light pertinent questions regarding the liability insurance requirement for the use of the FBL and certain other FIATA documents.
FIATA’s liability insurance requirement is crucial to ensuring the security and integrity of the FBL in the complex and challenging world of freight forwarding. FIATA, through its Advisory Body on Legal Matters and leading insurers TT Club and Willis Towers Watson, has developed this practical and fit-for-purpose guidance which responds to the needs of the global freight forwarding community.
UNESCAP Cross-Border Paperless Trade Database - FIATA now featured!
The digital FBL initiative is now listed on the UNESCAP Cross-Border Paperless Trade Database website. The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) has created this online database to support trade facilitation and promote cross-border paperless trade under the Framework Agreement on Facilitation of Cross-border Paperless Trade in Asia and the Pacific. The database provides a list of projects and services on cross-border trade digitalisation as well as relevant legal and implementation instruments.
