E-Commerce in a Globalised World: Non-Legal and legal Issues.

In “The Maritime Advocate Online” – Issue 722 Dated 14/06/18, an article entitled “Rotterdam Rules and E Commerce” was published stating that Stuart Hethrington President of the International Maritime Committee (CMI) and Professor Tomotaka Fujita Chair of the same entity had published an essay dealing with the evolution of shipping via blockchain and paperless reforms. We also received this essay from another source and thought it would be a good opportunity to make some comments on the subject. Although at first reading this essay does not appear to go beyond the legal and commercial frameworks in considering this E Commerce revolution, we would suggest that it does because it deals with the supply chain within the legal and non-legal realms.
