The shipping industry is one of the largest industry in the world and contributes the greatest percentage in global trade. Similarly, the container shipping industry accounts for more than 60% of world’s seaborne trades with a revenue of about USD12 trillion according to a study conducted in 2017. However, this critical industry is plagued by many challenges such as overcapacity, security threats, environmental regulations and many others. These challenges have negative impact and often result to losses of various magnitudes. Therefore, to ensure that the shipping industry remain profitable while complying with environmental regulations, there is need to introduce systems that will improve efficiency through digital transformation and this is what gave birth to the Blockshipping project.
The Blockshipping project is creating the Global Shared Container Platform (GSCP) that will address the needs of the global container shipping industry. The GSCP platform is a complete blockchain based container registry that will provide a complete inventory of global containers with their real-time location. Through this platform, power will be returned to the importers and exporters who, before now, are at the mercy of container logistic operators who, through dubious and exploiting tendencies, charges exorbitant fees for container management.
The GSCP platform will save a lot of cost in the container shipping business. Notable among them is the cost of empty container repositioning, fleet reduction, carrier haulage and the cost of triangulation.
In addition to the economic benefits of the GSCP platform, it is projected to reduce global carbon dioxide (CO2) emission by at least 4.6 million tons per year. This is a welcome development that places this project in tune with global best practices in respect to climate change and global warming.
Interestingly, it is envisaged that this is the revolution the container shipping industry needs and there will be massive adoption of this technology. There is already, a huge interest in this project by many key players in the container shipping industry. As a matter of fact, this project is already funded by private individuals and the Danish Maritime Fund and the development of the platform have started. However, to reduce time to market and accelerate the development of this project as well as give the public the opportunity to be part of this innovation, the team have decided to conduct an ICO.
Consequently, a total of 50million Container Crypto Coin (CCC) have been created for this project and 80% of this will be sold in the private and public sales at an ICO price of $0.62 USD per token. This is a real project with a wonderful team that have lived up to expectation in all the outlined targets of this project. Therefore, I feel this project is worth investing on as the return on investment will be amazing. Think of when there will be a complete adoption of this platform in the container industry with the CCC as an incentivized means of payment, the demand will be high and investors will smile. Therefore, hurry now to the whitepaper, join the Telegram and ask questions if there is any or proceed to the website and make your orders as there is limited time before the token sale closes.
