This paper examines the necessity of introducing a blockchain bill of lading to solve the crisis of B/L in international trade, and reviews the main tasks related to the use of blockchain B/L. If we apply blockchain technology to B/L in international trade, it can improve the issue and the transfer process of B/L and solve the B/L’s crisis problems. In particular, we can manage transparently and efficiently B/L, prevent fraud due to forgery or alteration of documents, and reduce transaction costs.
