Our generations have the exceptional privilege of witnessing »online« the digital transformation of one of the most important and simultaneously most traditional industries - maritime transport. The digital transformation impacts various areas of maritime transport. This article focuses on the documentation aspect of the digital transformation, particularly on the bill of lading as a negotiable document of title. While the UNCITRAL has been moderately successful in preparing international treaties on the carriage of goods by sea, it deserves praise for its efforts in introducing electronic commerce. The preparation of the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) is gradually making its way into the most important maritime countries. The development is moving towards a direction where local legislation, in which lawmakers adopt the proposed concepts from MLETR, and solutions within the framework of contractual autonomy will provide an adequate legal framework for the use of electronic bills of lading in international maritime transport.
