Pacific International Lines to offer electronic Bills of Lading

Pacific International Lines (PIL) reports that it is partnering with WaveBL to provide a wider range of electronic Bill of Lading (eBL) options to its customers.

The eBL system is expected to improve the efficiency of PIL’s trade documentation processes. Users will not be required to pre-register, and the shipper can make use of the platform without the consignee needing to also be connected. 

“PIL’s digital initiatives are a means to support our customers and their needs as well improve efficiencies. We remain strongly committed to enhancing human interactions and relationships,” said Lionel Chatelet, Chief Commercial Officer, PIL.

“PIL is pleased to partner with WaveBL to offer an advanced eBL solution to our customers to better streamline transactions, reduce costs, improve productivity and contribute to carbon footprint reduction for us and our customers.”

“We are leveraging this partnership with Wave BL to upgrade our internal processes to make sure that the efforts made by our customers to switch to eBL will be translated into an immediate improvement to the way we are managing their documents and their shipments. We hope that we, along with shipping lines, customers, eBL solution providers, and financial institutions, will be able to collectively convert more customers to eBL solutions.”
