Hapag-Lloyd supports publishing eBLs via Galileo for faster, cheaper, safer exchange of trade documents based on DCSA standards
Customers can handle eBLs within the platform of their choice: CargoWise, INTTRA or directly within Galileo
GERMANY, 15 June 2026 – Hapag-Lloyd, one of the top five global container shipping lines, has partnered with WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC), to publish Electronic Bills of Lading (eBL) to Galileo, the cloud-native platform that brings trade finance and electronic document workflows together, enabling the secure execution of original documentation between business partners and platforms along the supply chain. The move is part of Hapag-Lloyd's commitment to reaching 100% eBL usage by 2030.
The first eBL that Hapag-Lloyd published to Galileo was for GEODIS, a global transport and logistics leader and a CargoWise customer. This showcased the complete process of a verified electronic document moving from the carrier to the freight forwarder during a live shipment.
As Galileo is integrated with the CargoWise and, soon, the INTTRA ocean shipping networks, Hapag-Loyd will connect to the most comprehensive eBL aggregation platform, broadening their reach across the largest combined community of shippers and freight forwarders in the industry, spanning 22,000 logistics providers and other industry participants, and approximately 90% of global ocean container capacity. Galileo connects carriers, freight forwarders, beneficial cargo owners and banks on a single platform, ensuring that as cargo moves, so does the verified documentation needed to release it and settle trade finance.
The integration is based on the Digital Container Shipping Association's (DCSA) API v3.0 standards. WiseTech has been one of the earliest and most active implementers of these standards since DCSA's inception in 2019, helping lay the foundation for industry-wide adoption rather than isolated digital pockets. WiseTech is a member of DCSA+, the association's partnership program, to help drive adoption of open digital standards across container shipping. - see full media relase attached
