Comprehensive trade finance solutions with MLETR-compliant digital documentation, enabling faster financing, reduced paperwork, and enhanced transparency in global trade.
Dole Shipping Corporation goes beyond transportation to support your business with comprehensive trade finance solutions that address one of international trade's most persistent challenges: slow, paper-intensive documentation processes that delay payments and increase costs.
Leveraging advancements in digital trade documentation and full compliance with the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR), we provide a transformative platform that digitizes the entire trade documentation lifecycle. From bills of lading and certificates of origin to invoices and letters of credit, every document is created, verified, and transferred electronically.
Our post-shipment financing options, facilitated through partnerships with leading financial institutions, ensure faster and more efficient access to working capital. By providing verified digital documentation directly to lenders, we significantly reduce the time between shipment and financing approval — from weeks to days.
The platform employs blockchain-based verification to ensure document authenticity and integrity, making it virtually impossible to tamper with or duplicate trade records. This level of security and transparency builds confidence among all parties in the trade chain — exporters, importers, banks, and regulatory authorities.
For businesses navigating complex international regulations, our compliance team provides expert guidance on documentary requirements, trade sanctions, and country-specific import/export regulations. We ensure every transaction is fully compliant, reducing the risk of delays, penalties, or rejected shipments.
