Recently, a group of outdoor leisure supplies exported to the United States went to the sea through the container ship of Ningbo COSCO Shipping Container Transportation Co., Ltd. Different from the past, this time, the receiving party of the United States no longer needs to wait for Chinese customers to mail the past paper bill of lading, because the newly used blockchain technology in Ningbo Port has already "passed" electronic bill of lading to the other hand. inside. This has also become the first electronic bill of lading for Ningbo Port.

To explain the electronicization of the original bill of lading, we must first talk about the basic process of foreign trade goods exports.

For example, Ningbo Foreign Trade Enterprise is shipped to the Zhoushan Port in Ningbo. After the cargo is loaded on the ship, it will get a bill of lading issued by the ship company. This is the original bill of lading.

This bill of lading is very important because it is a legal right certificate with legal effect. At this time, if a foreign trade company receives the payment from foreign customers, you can mail the bill of lading to the other party. When the goods arrive at the destination port, the other party can take this bill of lading to the port.

This method of property rights has been applied for hundreds of years in international trade. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. Because all processes are completed offline. On the one hand, the paper bill of lading issued needs to be collected at the business window through the runner of the running order, increasing the labor cost; on the other hand, the paper bill of lading needs to be mailing to foreign importers, the overall process is time -consuming, and there is a risk of losing documents.

The bill of lading with blockchain technology has changed the original paper bill of lading to electronic information, eliminating the tedious process of issuing and circulating offline, and realizing one -click issuance and circulation. At the same time, the advantages of blockchain technology cannot be tampered with, traceable, and trusted, and provide guarantee for the authenticity and security of the original bill of lading documents.

"It's like the bank's paper withdrawal sheet has become an electronic transfer voucher for online banking transfer." The relevant person in charge of Ningbo COSCO Shipping Container Transportation Co., Ltd. said that the model allows all relevant parties to participate in transportation to complete online management bills to achieve realization The entire process of issuing, circulation, and delivery of the bill of lading. Export companies can also view the real -time status of trade and cargo transportation. The whole process is safe, efficient, convenient, credible, and zero. In particular, in the current situation of repeated epidemics, personnel contacts that can be effectively avoided by document transfer can also be effectively avoided, and the "E -line" on the chain can be achieved.

It is understood that before, Ningbo Port has been imported from the imported paper -free release session to explore the application of blockchain technology. The successful test of the Ningbo Port's first ticket export blockchain bill of lading is another breakthrough innovation of the Ningbo port to continuously deepen the digital reform of the port. High -efficiency and credible.
