The developers plan to create a container registry on the blockchain. All participants will install special chips on them, with which you can find out the location of the container in a few seconds, as well as is the container empty or full. This will significantly reduce the operating costs of companies using container transportation. According to the developers, Blockshipping will save about $6 billion a year. It is not surprising that the new idea is highly appreciated and supported by the key players in the market of sea freight.
In addition, the container traffic has been monitored by ecologists for a long time now. As a result, with the introduction of BlockShipping, harmful CO2 emissions into the environment will be reduced by 4.6 million tons per year. The use of blockchain and smart contracts will help to make the financial settlement system fast and transparent, remove unnecessary intermediaries and eliminate fraud.
