The Beaming future Of The Shipping Industry: GSCP (Global Shared Container Platform)

A First Glance: The Introductory

It has been quite surprising to folks that the country Denmark, despite
her humble pie population of fewer than six million people, remains the seventh largest seafaring nation in the world. Denmark is not just the home of Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping company, but also the Danish maritime tradition dates way back to the 8th century, when the wild Vikings first rose to conquer the world.

Presently, the Danish shipping can really be termed wild in the sense of the Vikings, but has been considered to be highly advanced and world-leading as regards efficiency, innovation, environmental considerations, and the usage of nouvel technology.
Anne H. Steffensen the director general of Danish Shipping firm recently gave this description of Danish shipping in the HuffPost:
“Danish shipping companies are active in all segments - from dry bulk, oil tankers, offshore and containers. On top of this we are world leaders in maritime technology, known for our innovative technological solutions, eco- efficient services and maritime safety equipment. This is why most large cargo ships today are equipped with Danish maritime technology, products or equipment. To give an example, more than 70% of two-stroke ship engines installed on vessels worldwide are designed in Denmark.”
Within shipping, one thing important is Innovation, which is glaringly a Danish speciality, but another spot in which Denmark has sighted to secure a leading international position is the blockchain technology. Fintech Lab has already carved it's niche internationally by its large number of blockchain companies and blockchain specialists.
Backing this GSCP platform is the Danish company Blockshipping; the core team has more than 75 years of containershipping experience and deep knowledge of blockchain technology.
Hence, blockshipping and the GSCP platform are already supported by private bodies and The Danish Maritime fund and as a supplementary
funding method to further accelerate development and adoption.

Evident Problems
Along the years the container shipping industry has accounted for roughly 60% of the world’s seaborne trade with a total value of approximately USD12 trillion in 2017.
But this gigantic valuable industry has been troubled for years by
challenges like overcapacity, low rates, security threats, and increase in
environmental regulations.
It's a glaring fact in the industry that the global shipping network needs
Increased efficiency, improved processes and a fundamental digital
transformation to ensure profitability in the future.

Solutions
Blockshipping’s Global Shared Container Platform (GSCP) is crafted in a way
to make important procedures in the proper handling of containers thereby solving some of the most important problems in the container shipping industry.

Purpose:
First and foremost, the goal of the GSCP platform is to provide a complete blockchain enabled container asset registry, where the full global
inventory of containers cab be registered alongside real-time locations of every container around the globe.
Within three to four years, the goal is to obtain a 60% market coverage with 16 million container units in the GSCP blockchain registry.
Moreso, the vision for the GSCP platform is to:

• Become the base platform for managing operational payments clearing between stakeholders related to physical handling, haulage and sharing of containers.

GSCP's Work with technology
The presence of the technology of Blockchain enables full transparency and a shared ledger of container inventories and financial settlements when work orders for intermodal transport are given, and when containers are interchanged between carriers or street-turned between importers and exporters.
The blockchain-based GSCP platform will aid a wide range of industry stakeholders to achieve savings' cost and reduced container inventories based on real-time information exchange. The technology offers real-time visibility and blockchain
enabled smart contracts that automate processes and payments between parties.
This helps all parties to significantly reduce internal control/admin functions.
At this very moment, more than 27 million containers are either travelling from one destination to another on trucks or rail flatcars, or in containers, or they are waiting somewhere in the world at a port, a container depot, to it's destination.

CONCLUSION
What is the GSCP project all about?
Blockshipping’s Global Shared Container Platform (GSCP) is designed to make key processes in the global handling of containers. At Blockshipping it is okay to say that the GSCP project fulfils these requirements:
The business case of the GSCP project is extremely strong; the project has global relevance to the container shipping industry; the cost reduction potential as well as reduced CO2 emissions, are substantial; the use of blockchain technology, smart sensor technology and other innovative technologies on the platform is genuine; the growth potential for the GSCP platform is significant; and the highly competent and experienced team behind the GSCP platform honour great values of transparency and is fully available for discussions about any possible aspect of the GSCPproject.
With all these reasons, we believe that we – with a healthy conscience and sound mind– can invite and attract potential contributors to support the Blockshipping’s GSCP.
