It is estimated that about 90% of the world trade is carried out by the international shipping industry. Without which, importation and exportation of goods and services would not be possible. It would have been a huge threat to the world economy .

It is major revenue earner in the world today. It is very critical to the economic development of the world.

The benefits might seem endless, however , there are limitations limiting its continuous growth and expansion.
Some of theses limitations are:
Security Threats
Overcapacity
Trust issues
Lack of transparency
Low rates
Increasing environmental regulations.
This has led to the need for a platform that can make for improved processes, efficiency and digital transformation I'm the future.
Introducing Blockshipping,
Blockshipping poised to provide lasting solutions to these limitations , by the creation of a platform Global Shared Container Platform( GSCP). This platform is designed in such a way to make key processes in the global handling of containers more efficient.
The GSCP platform will leverage off the blockchain technology to provide a complete blockchain enabled container asset registry such as : ship registry.
This registry is where the full global inventory of containers are registered along with real- time locations of every single container around the world.
This will go a long way in improving the operational efficiency of the shipping industry, considering the fact that , there is currently no central global registry for the 217m + intermodal freight containers constantly shifting location, incuring payment and changing ownership.
GSCP platform ams to becoming the primary platform for the management of operational payments clearing between stakeholders related to physical handling, haulage and sharing of containers.
Hopes to monetize data insight based on machine learning, IOTA data, AI, and blockchain data.
Hopes to become the shipping industry's primary IOT platform for real- time tracking of containers and enabling real - time visibility of contained to all stakeholders.
The GSCP hopes to help the industry stakeholders to achieve cost savings and reduced container inventories based on real- time information exchange.
Its the vision of the GSCP platform to achieve a market coverage with 16m containers units in the GSCP blockchain industry.
It hopes to also accelerate the adoption of real- time tracking devices.
Blockshipping and the GSCP platform are already being funded by private angels and the danish maritime fund.
