The 2nd quarter was marked by a major industry development when BIMCO issued a new electronic bill of lading clause for charter parties, yet another crucial step towards the widespread adoption of eDocs in dry bulk trade. Furthermore, major customers in both Agri and Tanker successfully used eB/Ls for the very first time - also extending to the first ever implementation in Vegoil trade - while on the Barge front, at the request of customers to extend our solution functionality, we rolled out a major product upgrade. Lastly, on the trade finance side, we continued to see accelerated interest for both eUCP Presentation and Bank Payment Obligation, driven by growing demand from corporates to adopt electronic Trade finance.
