Blockshipping - Next genaration of cargo transportation

The cost of goods transported by sea in standard metal containers in 2017 was $ 12 trillion. 60% of the shipping industry by sea routes fall on these containers.world market of cargo transportation, uses a fleet of more than 27 million containers! The figures are impressive! Just imagine, 27 million containers that move every second across the globe. it is almost unrealistic to keep track of the movement of 27 million units that are moving simultaneously in all directions, and already about keeping records of the movement of unloaded containers.In this regard, at the same time, these container ships almost all work at a loss.( Approximate amount of losses of cargo carriers from such "idle" traffic is from 15 to 20 billion dollars per year) The internal systems of container equipment on container carriers are very outdated with their very expensive interfaces. Many carriers have transferred the maintenance of these old container control systems to Common Service Centers in India, China and the Philippines, and this makes it even more difficult to upgrade and replace these systems.However, just recently, a start-up from Denmark proposed a solution that would help to remedy this situation called Blockshipping 

Blockshipping aims at transforming the global container transport industry using blocking technology, is a global common container platform (GSCP). The platform claims to be the world's first register of freight containers and the first global platform that allows all participants in the shipping industry to perform a wide range interactions and transactions . 

The developers of the company will create a service for tracking the movement of goods and containers, and thanks to the introduction of blockchain technology, the data will be open and accessible to everyone who works in the container transport industry. BSCP will create a registry on the basis of a block of flats that will track cargoes and containers whose codes contain more than 8 digits. The project takes care of its reputation, therefore conducts ICO on criteria that do not violate Denmark's laws, which is very positive for future investors. 

Types of tokens:

• CPT (Token Container Platform) - the use of this token is possible between the participants inside the platform. This is the internal network token.

• CCC (Crypto Container Coin) is a token of shared income distribution. Token standard ERC20 on the platform Ethereum.

Tokens CPT are designed for non-cash payments and transaction adjustment in the GSCP system. Holders of CCC tokens will receive a percentage of revenue that arises from transactions within the GSCP platform. The project is quite specialized, therefore CPT tokens will be used only by members of the freight industry. Ordinary crypto currency users will not be able to operate them. The second type of token, the CCC, will be freely available to everyone. During the ICO, only 50 million CCC tokens will be issued. The ability to convert one type of token to another is not provided. 

Advantages

A complete registry

Currently, there is no tracking system or registry for the millions of shipping containers across the world. The company intends to come up with an accurate tracking system or registry to enable shipping companies and their customers to track shipping containers using IoT technology.

Payment platform

The company’s GSCP will also act as a payment platform for all stakeholders. This will radically reduce administration costs and other inefficiencies.

Greybox opportunity

Currently, many shipping containers are left half-empty thus increasing the shipping cost. This project will allow shipping companies and other stakeholders in the industry to find and match up shipping opportunities that allow the sharing of containers and reduce cost.

Street turn opportunity

Shipping containers used in the export and import procedure are often not properly used. When containers are empty inside a ship it will increase the moving cost to 10 billion US Dollars per year. Since the GSCP advocates for registry and tracking systems, such empty containers are going to be utilized by both exporters and importers without any confusion at inland depots or ports.

Reduce container fleet

At the moment, there is no system that tells shipping companies where their shipping contains are. So many companies end up using more containers than they would have used. The Blockshipping’s GSCP will come up with a technology that will reduce the number of container fleet the shipping company uses.

Automated processes

In this platform automated processes that make the shipping process more efficient and reduces the overall shipping cost.

The team of experts at Blockshipping

The company’s senior team comprises of Mr. Peter Ludvigsen the CEO and founder, Mr. Christian Gyntelberg the company’s chief operating officer (COO) and Mr. Jesper Vedelsby the chief technology officer (CTO). All these three individuals have a career spanning more than three decades at various leading companies in the shipping industry.

Final word 

More recently, Blockshipping has signed a partnership agreement with Coinify, the digital money transfer operator from Denmark. This cooperation is beneficial for both sides. Blockshipping gets access to professional tools that guarantee safe transactions for converting crypto currency into cash, and Coinify gets excellent experience and shows all the advantages of its system. Also Blockshipping has already received investments from personal players and the Danish Marine Fund. They still rush together during the ICO. Players who purchase tokens during the ICO, have the advantage of gaining a fraction of the benefits from the platform.
