Our dedication to the environment extends far beyond the ocean.
Join the sustainable revolution by making the switch to eB/L, powered by Wave B/L – a secure, block-chain based alternative to paperless trade, ensuring your transactions are secure, smooth, and sustainable.
The future of shipping is paperless.
With new digital courier platforms on the market, the days of trading physical paper bills are numbered. After decades of using paper-based bills of lading, the shipping industry is moving away from paper trade to streamlined digital processes.
What is eB/L and why it should matter to you?
A bill of lading is a fundamental document in international trade, serving as a shipment proof and contract evidence. Traditionally, this key document has been paper-based – until now.
eB/L is the digital alternative to traditional bill of lading, offering a seamless, secure, and efficient transaction process, transforming the way you manage your shipments.

Thanks to blockchain technology, every transaction is recorded and verifiable, eliminating loss, delay, or forgery.

All you need to know about eB/L
Wave B/L is a digital electronic bills of lading (eBL) platform which uses proprietary blockchain technology to transfer trade documents electronically. Owned by OGYDocs, Inc, Wave B/L uses blockchain distributed ledger technology (DLT) to connect all members of the supply chain to a decentralized network, allowing them a direct exchange of documents (files). Wave B/L completed its first transaction with Barclays bank in 2016.

Only the recipient of your documents. Wave B/L as a company has no visibility to the envelope’s content. Wave does not store the documents on their servers.
The Wave B/L solution protects privacy, ensuring the data and/or documents remain unchanged, while making sure that each transaction is encrypted and authenticated and that a party cannot deny having received the envelope. It is approved by the International Group of P&I Clubs.
No. Wave can be used as either a standalone or integrated platform. If the volume of transactions justifies it, there is value in building an API (Application programming interface) to manage your workflow and transactions.
There are currently several leading ocean carriers using the Wave B/L platform including ZIM, MSC, Hapag Lloyd, ONE, and PIL.
