Abstract

A bill of lading is a security that is issued by the carrier or his representative after delivery of the goods by the sender at the origin and given to the sender so that he or his representative or a third party or buyer delivers the goods to the destination from the carrier. , The recipient of the goods, if it is in the name of a certain person or a Kurdish remittance, the amount of insurance, the weight of the goods and its number are stated.
The bill of lading has three main uses, which are: 1- Receipt of goods 2- Reason for contract of carriage 3- It shows the ownership of the goods. Destinations were reached, stolen, lost, forged, and so on. In this regard, with the advent of the Internet, legal and economic scientists and businessmen thought of a way to replace electronic bill of lading with manual and traditional bill of lading, which led to the holding and ratification of the Rotterdam Convention.
Due to the multiple transfers of the bill of lading and the sale of goods before reaching the destination, this article tries to solve them so that both the operator can issue an electronic record and the owner of the electronic bill of lading can safely load his goods. Before reaching the destination, the important features of the electronic bill of lading as well as the protection of the bill of lading by blockchain are described in this article in a practical way.
