My cousin who is in the shipping business once described a week in his life he intends to forget in a hurry .He was at a port in the United Arab Emirates and his goods were ready but he needed two more containers unfortunately there were no available containers to transport the rest of his goods back to Nigeria, actually they were empty containers all around him but the owners were not going to part with them even for a fee as they claimed that if it had their companies logos it therefore belonged to the company and there was really nothing they could do about it ,my cousin pleaded with the heads of about 5 empty container owners all but to no avail, he had to stay at a hotel for a full week frustrated and he ordered for two containers and not knowing exactly when the containers he ordered for will materialize.
Then after a week they finally showed up the delivery guy was all apologetic with a fake smile explaining how they got held up here and there due to technical issues and clearance ,he was all but exhausted and was actually relieved that he was finally going to secure his goods in a container to take them home.
In a world as advanced as this, this kind of a problem really shouldn't be a problem.
A platform is here to help solve this major problems blighting the shipping industry and costing it literally millions of dollars, as companies usually ship empty containers for miles at a time to far locations instead of using available ones in that particular location. This platform is the global shared container platform ,the platform seeks to bring back the "grey box concept" which consist of a common pool of containers with no names that will meet the demands of carriers in need of containers in certain specific locations regardless of the company name through the blockchain ,this concept will save the individuals and companies time and money and people like my cousin can rest easy because any time they are in need of containers anywhere in the world they will be rest assured that they will certainly find an empty one to carry their goods .
This platform also happens to provide a complete blockchain enabled container asset registry and full container inventories, the platform also helps players in the shipping industry carry out transactions through smart contracts which saves time and is free from the hassle of long paper works ,this platform is assessed by players in the industry through the internal container platform token (CPT)which is locked on etherium blockchain and also investors that possess container crypto coin (CCC) benefits from all transactions that take place in the platform as they will have a percentage from the revenue pool.
The future of shipping is now be a part of it for more information on the grey box concept and the global shared container platform visit
