Digital developments
MSC recognise the importance of digitalisation in offering advanced service solutions to the customers
To improve efficiency and transparency for the customers, digital developments are at the core of our commitment. MSC recognise the importance of digitalisation in offering advanced service solutions to the customers. This is the reason why it launched the eBL in April 2021.
MSC's secure and user-friendly eBL solution enables all parties involved in a cargo shipment booking to issue, transfer, endorse and manage the bill of lading document electronically through a blockchain platform, without any disruption to business operations. The application is available for shippers, importers, and traders of all industries and sizes worldwide and requires no additional IT infrastructure or operational change.
Improving efficiency
In addition, as a responsible company, MSC remains committed to actively working to further improve the efficiency of the container ships in its fleet to help reduce emissions.
To complement the company’s massive investment in energy efficiency, MSC continues to study a range of different future fuel options such as hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and synthetic fuels.
