On 28 March 2024, Rajah & Tann held its monthly seminar series LearningBytes 2024, with this month’s seminar titled “The Future of Electronic Documents in the Transportation and Logistics Industry “.
The transportation and logistics industry has traditionally relied on paper-based documentation for its operations, including management, inventory tracking, international shipping, and warehousing. With the advent of digitalisation and technological advancements, there is a shift towards the adoption of electronic trade documents. At the hybrid event, Ting Yong Hong from the Shipping & International Trade Practice and Tao Tao from the Commercial Litigation Practice provided insights into the following:
- Evolving landscape of transportation documentation;
- Implementation of legal regulations, such as the Electronic Transportation Act (ETA); and
- Points to note when dealing with electronic documentation and evidence during litigation.
