There are lots of problems being experienced today by the global shipping industries which have done most countries more harm than good. The worst part is that there is nothing indicating that these challenges will be slowing down in the shortest possible time. This is the reason why there ought to be an innovation that will be aimed at ensuring efficiency and effectiveness is achieved in this industry.
This is perhaps why Blockshipping has been brought into existence which is to ensure that there are innovations introduced into the global shipping industry for freight containers to be moved or transported to their respective destinations in a much smarter and better way. The major aim of this post is to have you exposed to why Blockshipping is very important and unique. You are also going to be learning about some of its innovations that are aimed at having the shipping industry redefined.
The Challenges
Before discussing the solutions that Blockshipping will be aiming to bring into the shipping industry, it is very important that some of the challenges plaguing this industry over the years be highlighted.
Poor Real – Time Tracking
This is one of the major problems facing the global shipping industry and has really been difficult to solve. It can be really frustrating when your goods can’t be tracked with 100% accuracy. Containers can’t be tracked with high level of accuracy which has led to delay in how they move. The importance of items being tracked accurately while on transit can hardly be overemphasized due to the fact that it helps to facilitate decision making processes both for the sender and recipient.
Outdated IT Systems
The information technology systems which are being used in the day – to – day running of activities in the global shipping industry aren’t up to the task of achieving efficiency. They can’t seem to keep up with the demands of the present times. When there are IT systems such as these, there will always be errors in terms of records being kept and also unnecessary delays. This has led to a situation whereby something innovative such as the idea behind Blockshipping is needed.
Poor Customer Service
The present customer services being rendered to shippers is one that falls below expectations. Shippers like you can’t seem to be given due attention when such is needed and this has led to the advent of Blockshipping to ensure that your needs as a shipper are being catered for without any form of compromise.
Global Shared Container Platform
This is one smart concept that Blockshipping has brought into existence to ensure that every party or stakeholder (including you as the shipper) in the global shipping industry is benefits from it. It is an idea that is built on the availability of a container registry which will contain details regarding containers all over the world. These could include their accurate locations, items they are carrying and lots of others.
One of the major concepts or innovations of Blockshipping is to ensure that high level of transparency and accountability is brought into the global shipping industry. This will be achieved by making such registry available to every stakeholder in the industry. This is done through ensuring that the container registry is blockchain – enabled.
Some of the aims and benefits of global shared container platform are:
Ensuring containers are tracked accurately for stakeholders involved. Just as explained above, it is primarily aimed at ensuring the challenge of tracking containers accurately to facilitate decision making which is experienced in the industry is solved. Real time tracking has never been easier!
At the moment, there isn’t any global platform where operation payments are made. Global shared container platform is aiming to ensure that this challenge is something of the past through the global container registry that it will be providing.
Based on the artificial intelligence as well as Blockchain Data provided, there will be opportunity for monetization. Over the years, lots of money has been left on the table as data collected hasn’t been properly monetized.
To ensure effective compliance with environmental rules and regulations. This has been a nightmare the past years as it makes countries to be susceptible to an environmental problem such as CO2 emission.
Blockshipping Token Model
In order for the platform (global shared container) introduced by Blockshipping to strive, 2 tokens have been created. The reason why these have been created is to ensure that the original purpose which for utility tokens have been introduced isn’t eventually defeated.
These tokens are CPT (Container Platform Token) and CCC (Container Crypto Coin). They both have their unique and specific functionalities but tend to complement each other. For instance, the former token CPT is private which is only used for transactions that are based on GSCP blockchain authorizations. That is to say, it is completely private and permission – based. The latter token (Container Crypto Coin) is external (Ethereum revenue) and put on sales publicly after which it will get traded. It can be seen that while the first token is private, this one is public and can be easily assessed. Also, funds can be raised which will aid the development of global shared container platform through CCC. CPT on the other hand, will only aid the payment of transaction fees.
The Team
The team behind the advent of Blockshipping is one which is made up of members that are highly experienced in all facets of the global shipping industry. It is made up of members who are consistently dedicated towards seeing a revolution in the industry and headed by Danish Peter Ludvigsen who perfectly understands how the global shipping industry functions. This is due to the number of years that he has spent occupying vital positions in the industry.
Competitors of Blockshipping
Although there are competitors such as 300cubits, IBM Joint Venture and CargoX, operating in the same global shipping industry as Blockshipping, it is important pointing to the fact that they all operate under different concepts as the idea which GSCP tends to be built on seems unique.
Given the smart and sophisticated features of Blockshipping, it is obvious that it has been brought into existence to bring efficiency and consistency into the global shipping industry.

With blockshipping the shipping industry will save a lot of money
Stale and heavily outdated business models involve a good bit of paperwork and lag time. The approach from Blockshipping works to solve these problems through automation, allowing for considerable overall savings in the process.
Thank God,i came across this. I really love the scope of the project
Not 100% sure if I understand why blockshipping needs two tokens?
The two-token model is new, here is a video that explains how it works.
Thanks the video helped, I now understand why blockshipping needs to separate it as an external and internal token.
I do find it interesting to know that the blockshipping platform is targeted at changing the way the industry operates by touching the most vital areas in the global shipping business. I think this is a pretty innovative idea, and I do look forward to the launch of the operational platform
The concept of blockshipping has turned out to be among the most revolutionary ideas for the development of the shipping industry
With the implementation of blockshipping the amount of time a shipping container moves with a cargo would be increased thereby disrupting the unproductive waiting time of any empty containers which in turn increases profitability.
The container shipping industry has been troubled for years with so many challenges which has made profitability stagnant , blockshipping would finally solve this challenges and restore efficiency to the container shipping industry.
Im joining the BoxSpotter global container scavenger hunt because I
would love to earn CCC tokens by finding specific containers, I’m sure it would be so much fun.
I have my doubts it seems people are not interested in this project though the concept is promising but the the ICO has gone far too long than usual because it has been postponed a number of times. I hope I won’t eventually regret investing in this project.
I'm not sure why you think this way, but if it were, I don't see any reason why the team would want to take more time to ensure the that a high-quality token sale is delivered. However, I encourage you to do some more research into Blockshipping team and the GSCP.
Smart move to postpone the public sale. I'm actually delighted for the delay. Means I can raise a lot more capital before then and the market has a chance to stabilise.
is the MVP available ?
Not yet, the phase 1 MVP would be ready in December 2018.
Is blockshipping associated with Maersk ?
Many of the blockshipping core team have worked in senior positions in Maersk previously but there’s no announced collaboration between the GSCP platform and Maersk
Would unsold tokens burned?
Blockshipping leverages blockchain technology to provide a single decentralized platform that is capable of managing and keeping track of the +27 million container units worldwide.
Any CCC not sold or claimed during the ICO (pre-sale and public sale) will be allocated
to GSCP and used to pay out the revenue share at a rate of USD 0.62 per CCC until no further CCCs are left.
I love the fact that blockshipping has got a strong focus on their token holders with a high percentage revenue model for shareholders, but what I don’t understand is why it drops when the revenue increases.
have got so much confidence in blockshipping, sure it would outperform it’s top competitors in the long run because none of them is offering a solution as complete as the blockshipping platform.
I thing this is a project that is going to reach for the sky's and it is backed up by an amazing team
Wow...this is a very good article, well written.
