RE: Blockshipping - Transforming The Global Container Shipping Industry
great review. would you say it's necessary to do it for global containers or could there be a more general blockchain technology for all kind of logistics and transportations? what about VEN and Walton?
@goya58 thanks for your feedback and suggestion. I personally would say that it is necessary for the global container industry since these problems exist globally. Once the platform is launched and the first containers are registered, others might follow up fast. As for your question regarding if this technology can be applied to other fields in the logistics or transportation I think that once the platform is ready it can be indeed applied into other usecases. Instead of tracking containers I might be thinking of tracking packages not only those delivered by vehicles on the ground, but also those on the air transport, because probably they face similar problems like the shipping industry. Regarding VEN and Walton, can you be a bit more specific what you are meaning here? Thanks for opening up a conversation btw, really appreciate it.
the plan of VEN is difficult to explain since their vision is very broad but as far as i know both VEN and Walton want to track products with the help of RFID Chips. So the big difference is they are going for products and here it's for tracking containers. I just thought it could be possible to have the RFID system of VEN and Walton also for containers. another approach also for products are NFC Chips. Seal Network is applying this for example. But I guess in future we will see more technologies and opportunities n this area and I agree that this project might start with ship containers and then migrate to air.
Hey, great input on that. Didn't know about the vision of VEN and Walton before, since I'm not invested, but only heard about their projects. Actually that sounds quite logic. As Blockshipping is more focused on containers rather than usual producs, I'm thinking that they will be the first-mover in this field, especially with their already acquired knowledge in the global container shipping industry. Therefore I don't see Walton or VEN beeing a competitor of Blockshipping. Rather I could imagine a partnership to expand their technologies into other business fields in the future.
