BITNAUTIC: IMPROVING THE SHIPPING SECTOR WITH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

in #ico6 years ago (edited)

Introduction

During my early years education, we were taught about transportation and their modes. We knew Road, Air, Rail and Sea/Water Transportation and we got to know that ships moves on water, help to convey heavy loads both internationally and locally, but we never got to know or understand how it efficiency could help the parties involved.

Increasingly over the years, shipping and maritime have consistently being a basic source of revenue for governments worldwide through exporting and importing. While its importance is of various significance in each country as it can be the centre core for globalization and swell of E-Commerce in one country and not in another, still its importance is not underlined. Meanwhile, shipping is not restricted to the governments alone, individuals can also get involved. For instance, I'm an African living in Nigeria, I'm interested in some products from an online store or company, let's say Europe. How do these products gets to me?!, looking at it, I have various options as I can rather get it airlifted but looking at the cost, the volume and the type of products I am buying, Shipping is my best option. However, shipping does not come easy as it has its own flaws, some of these flaws are Overcapacity, Irregular Order, Mistaken Destination Addresses, Human Errors, Trust and Natural Disasters. Many of these flaws are due to the numerous volumes and sizes of cargoes transported worldwide everyday. For instance, you ordered shipload of clothing products only for you to hear that your cargo have been lost, and as there are no regulatory devices put in place to help checkmate such losses on the shipman, it implies that you've lost all the capital/money invested. How would you feel??.

This is one of the various need to curtail this irregularities and flaws of shipping so as to prevent possible future and consistent occurrences. This would allow world trade investors and users to make maximum profits and this would have a long lasting benefits on the world economy and provide assurance for aspiring investors/users and transparencies in business deals.

As explained above, the obvious need to set up a global regulatory standard in the shipping sector is very important. This provides the sector with the required flexibility and maximizes its efficiency.

This allows invoices to corresponds with records thereby making the system near 100% efficiency.
