Hapag-Lloyd has partnered with WiseTech Global to publish Electronic Bills of Lading (eBLs) through Galileo, supporting its goal of achieving 100% eBL adoption by 2030. The first Hapag-Lloyd eBL published through Galileo was issued for GEODIS, a CargoWise customer. The transaction demonstrated the transfer of a verified electronic document from the carrier to the freight forwarder during a live shipment. Through Galileo, Hapag-Lloyd customers can receive eBLs via CargoWise, INTTRA or directly through the Galileo platform. The integration uses Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) API v3.0 standards. Hapag-Lloyd said the move will help deliver faster, safer and more cost-effective document exchange across the supply chain. Galileo connects carriers, freight forwarders, cargo owners and banks on a single platform. The system enables verified shipping documents to move alongside cargo, supporting both cargo release and trade finance processes. By connecting with Galileo, Hapag-Lloyd gains access to a broad digital network that includes approximately 22,000 logistics providers and industry participants, representing around 90% of global ocean container capacity. Dr. Thore Lindemann, Team Lead IT – Connectivity & Internal Consulting at Hapag-Lloyd, said eBLs create value by replacing paper-based processes with faster and more secure digital workflows. Ashley Skaanild, Principal Advisor Carrier Integration and Transformation at WiseTech Global, said eBLs remove delays associated with paper documents and allow verified shipping information to move instantly between carriers, freight forwarders, cargo owners and banks. WiseTech said the platform helps align logistics and trade finance processes, enabling faster cargo release and improved access to financing while goods remain in transit.
