FIATA Bill of Lading with GS1 identifiers (1)
A serialised code to unambiguously
identify the document for all stakeholders
across the world
The code allows direct identification of
FIATA member,
FIATA national association and
country of origin.
This will significantly enhance Security
and Trust associated with the FIATA Bill
of Lading

FIATA Bill of Lading with GS1 identifiers (2)
The CONSIGNOR is identified uniquely
with his GLN (Global Location Number)
all over the world
The CONSIGNEE is identified uniquely
with his GLN
NB : Easy to represent these identifiers in
barcodes for a better and quicker capture
Possible identification with dedicated GLN for
- Place of receipt
- Port of loading
- Port of discharge
- Place of delivery

Benefits from FBL digitalisation
• Increased Security and Trust
• Easy access to information using unique IDs on FBL
e.g. verifying loading/discharge location details/contacts
• Less searching for paperwork (digital version simultaneously
available to authorised stakeholders)
• Fewer delays due to single version of the truth available online
• Enabling electronic filings with cross-border agencies
• Enable full Track & Trace from FBL creation through to
Confirmation of Delivery
• Link additional electronic Transport Documents to the FBL
online further reducing searching for related paperwork
• Easily analyse big data across many FBL
• And many more

In Short
We see many benefits arising from the
Digitalisation of the FIATA Bill of Lading
including enhanced Trust & Security
and improved Track & Trace
We are looking forward to working together
with FIATA, FIATA Members,
their Clients and their Partners
to deliver those benefits to the industry
