EXPERIENCE A NEW LEVEL OF SHIPPING SERVICES WITH BITNAUTIC

Without shipping, there won't be any global economy. A study has shown that almost 90% of the world trade depends on shipping.
Seaborne transportation serves as the link through which the transport of food, raw materials etc are made possible, thus Seaborne trade continues to grow.
A study has shown that in the last century, the shipping industry witnesses a massive growth leading to industrialization etc.
Yes, the shipping industry has witnessed increased growth, but in 2008, the industry entered a downturn which led to less demand for shipping.
Currently, there has been slower growth rate, but it has been forecasted that the seaborne trade will double by 2035. This can be attributed to the fourth (4.0) industrial revolution and the growing cross-border e-commerce.
The need to sustain this growth led a team of experts into creating a platform unique in all ramifications with the aim of solving issues or challenges limiting the shipping industry. This is no other platform than BITNAUTIC.

THE PROBLEMS

For Shippers;
i. Finding the best possible options: Its hard to find the best options as cargos move from one place to the other.
ii. Finding the best shipping rate: This can be time-consuming owing to lack of the right tools or processes.
iii. Preparation and documentation: This comes with its hurdles as one mistake comes with it penalties such as delays, surcharges etc, thus shippers shy away from it.
iv. Shipping demand exceeds forecast: This is true as most times exporters and importers find it hard getting the required containers they need most.
For Carriers;
i. Security threats: This is growing at an alarming rate as piracy and armed robbery in Somalia coast and the Gulf of Aden becomes the order of the day.
ii. Environmental regulations: Study has shown that the maritime transport emits about 1000m tons of CO2 annually. Thus accounting for 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
iii. Overcapacity: The continual imbalance in supply and demand have the potential of weighing down the industry profits.
