BIMCO is a founding member of the Future International Trade Alliance to facilitate acceptance and adoption of electronic bills of lading. We see this as helping to accelerate the digitalisation of global trade.
BIMCO's Grant Hunter, Director of Standards, Innovation and Research, is the opening keynote speaker on the topic of "Open standards and collaboration – overcoming the obstacles to digitalisation".
The container shipping market is currently making many headlines world-wide as freight rates and port congestion continue to reach new record highs. At the end of September, more than 50 container ships were waiting to berth outside the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach alone and 90% of those arriving at a port had to wait at anchor before a berth became available. COVID-19 disruption at major Chinese and Vietnamese ports has also added to the long queues of ships, and certain ports are now being deliberately avoided by liners.
BIMCO’s Chief Shipping Analyst Peter Sand will deliver the closing keynote speech, “What is happening in the shipping markets” at Digital Ship’s 4 th Annual Maritime CIO Forum in Rotterdam on 26 September 2017, at the Hilton hotel in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The move will help to drive efficiency, providing standardised information, reducing the administrative burden for ships and administrations.

BIMCO President Sabrina Chao will be giving the keynote speech at 15:30 HKT (07:30 UTC/GMT) at this inaugural, physical event.
