In more detail
Legal effect rests on the Bolero Rulebook, a multilateral contract governed by English law that users accept, with a Title Registry recording the holder of each Bolero bill of lading. The system is on the International Group of P&I Clubs' list of approved systems; as at 16 October 2026, neither DCSA nor the International Group lists it as using the DCSA interoperability annex.
