The Shipping Platform of the Web 3.0

June 6, 2018

Today, shipping industry accounts of
around 90% of the value of the World
Trade. Shipping is the life blood of
the global economy. Without shipping, intercontinental trade, the bulk
transport of raw materials, and the
import/export of affordable food and
manufactured goods would simply
not be possible. This hugely valuable
industry has been troubled for years
by challenges like overcapacity,
highly variable freight rates, security
threats and increasing regulations.
On the other hand, local producers,
charterers and shippers, especially
the ones operating from developing
countries, are facing several problems when it comes to shipping, like
the high number of intermediaries,
the expensive freight rates, the lack
of transparency, the limited number
of sea lines, and the difficulties in
shipping small cargo.
