Shipping is regarded as the pivot of international trade and globalization. According to a recent statistics, about 90% of the world trade is distributed through ships. The International Monetary Fund (ITF) stated that the overall volume of the sea transport will increase by double in the year 2030, an estimate which happens to be a good news to the shipping industry.
However, the shipping industry has been at loss since 2015 and has been predicted to incur loss of about $5 billion towards the end of the year 2016. A number of giant shipping companies like the Copenship, China's winland ocean shipping corp to mention a few have been bankrupted few years ago. Shipping industry also faces overcapacity issues, caused by the drastic increase in supply over demand making carriers to increase freight rate due to limited spaces in the cargoes reserving available space for importers who pay more.
All these aforementioned problems are proved that the shipping industry is yet to see the sunny day. The way out of these precarious challenges is given by the BitNautic platform.
