Standardising and harmonising electronic ship to shore communication by integrating administrative, nautical and operational data, will strengthen port calls in general and support maritime digitalisation. This was one of the conclusions from the most recent meeting in the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Facilitation Committee (FAL) held 9-13 May 2022 (FAL 46).
BIMCO, DCSA, FIATA, ICC, and Swift (The FIT Alliance) have launched the “Declaration of the electronic Bill of Lading” as the adoption of eBLs can help make international trade more efficient, reliable, sustainable, and secure. The aim of the declaration is to secure commitment from all stakeholders in international trade to collaborate on driving digitalisation, starting with eBLs, within their industries.
A Maritime Connectivity Platform Consortium (MCC) has been launched to enable the development of the Maritime Connectivity Platform (MCP) and thereby help facilitate the digitalisation of the maritime sector.
The BIMCO President Mr Papagiannopoulos highlighted the main opportunities and threats for shipping coming from digitalisation at the 3 rd ShipIT conference in Athens on 27 September 2017. The opportunities and threats include the admin burden on board ships, autonomous ships, blockchain, cyber risk management and not least the human elements of all these issues.
Anastasios Papagiannopoulos, CEO of Common Progress has been elected President of BIMCO.
December 2019 IMO publishes a Corrigenda to the IMDG Code (Amendment 39-18)
Maritime digital solutions are still in their early days but there is massive interest in concepts across the maritime industry. Implementation of common solutions are, however, key to its success. BIMCO's Jeppe Skovbakke Juhl, Manager Maritime Safety & Security, explains in these short videos.

By 1 January 2024, the single window for data exchange is to become mandatory in ports around the world, marking a significant step in the acceleration of digitalisation in shipping.
In the wake of recent high-profile frauds, building trust and transparency has become an urgent priority for the bulk shipping industry. Digitalisation is a key tool in achieving this goal, as it allows for the creation of multiple "golden sources" of data that promote end-to-end integrity – reducing the risk of fraud and driving sustainable growth. This article is by Oswald Kuyler, Chief Operating Officer at MonetaGo. See him at our webinar " Reducing fraud through digitalisation " on 9 May.
