Abstract

The article examines the legal mechanism and electronic document management in business, transport and logistics activities in the light of the tasks set by the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2030 with a forecast for the period up to 2035, including: overcoming the low level of digitalization, intensification of integration processes, designing an ecosystem of digital transport corridors in the EAEU and their interface with international transport corridors. The legal conditions favorable for the implementation and protection of the rights and interests of participants in transport and logistics operations cover the use of legally significant electronic transportation documents. The creation of a legal model of digital interaction of counterparties (electronic document management) and its consolidation in regulatory legal acts meets the criteria for digital of the transport industry. The author, analyzing the legal basis, as well as the legal features of the exchange of electronic transportation documents and information between the participants of information interaction and sending such documents and information to the state information system of electronic transportation documents, comes to the conclusion about the formation of a digital environment of trust in the field of electronic document management of transportation documents, ensuring the protection of the interests of all its participants. The introduction of platform technologies and smart contracts that allow improving legal interaction between participants in the transportation process in export shipping requires application in the Russian Federation of a paperless (electronic) bill of lading based on a distributed registry in Russia. In this regard, the author considers the legal structure of an electronic transferable record as a promising model of a paperless bill of lading.
