Conocimiento de embarque electrónico y las repercusiones frente a la ratificación de las Reglas de Rotterdam.

Abstract

The bill of lading is a basic document that promotes international trade because it contains commercial and legal information, including contracts of carriage and descriptions of goods. In the first chapter, we will enter with the background, legal nature and definitions of the bill of lading, as well as its approach to the electronic mode. Apart from that, we will talk about the Ecuapass system that governs Ecuador; the Bolero system that governs certain countries, which in my opinion, are obsolete systems; and the Blockchain system, a modern system, from which we will analyze why Ecuador cannot apply it. In the second chapter, we will concentrate on studying three international standards such as the Hamburg, Hague-Visby, and especially the Rotterdam rules, since we will analyze the problems Ecuador could have in the face of a ratification, since it would obviously be a great advance towards technology because there is a great need in the market to migrate towards the use of electronic bills of lading so that they can be transmitted in a safe, integral, reliable, and efficient manner. Concluding with its due conclusion and recommendation.
