Global Container Shipping Industry Going Green -Blockshipping- GSCP ICO

Global Container Shipping Industry

About 71% percent of the Earth's surface has been covered by Water, which caused a separation of existed human civilizations. Essential resources needed for human survival has been spread over all around the globe. Because of that, the human has a burning need to travel and transport over the oceans, seas, rivers from the ancient times. With the technological revolution, several innovative inventions disrupt the way of this necessary transportation. Among those methods, Shipping has always stayed on the top. Furthermore, Container shipping has been listed among the most recognized methods of transportation in the shipping industry. Container Shipping Industry owns a total worth of 12 trillion USD in 2017. More than 60% of world seaborne transportation occurring through containers.

Container Shipping Impacts on Environment

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas which results in global warming which leads to a major climate change. The main source of unwanted carbon dioxide emission is from burning fossil oils and gases. Here is the National Geographic's idea,
“In the past 150 years, such activities have pumped enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to raise its levels higher than they have been for hundreds of thousands of years.”
-National Geographic-

According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), seaborne shipping causes up around 3% of global CO2 emissions in the world. Except for carbon dioxide, those engines omit pollutant gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx).

Another major impact of shipping is the noise pollution, which critically affects communication, habitats, and feeding methods of marine and other aquatic species. Noises produced by ships have the ability to travel longer distances, So a vast area of animal habitats can become threatened. As an example, sonar communication is the survival method for whales. When this communication get disturbed by ships, whales can possibly tend to make life-threatening actions.

Other than above, lots of environmental impacts can be identified, such as oil spills, solid waste, sewage discharging (black water, grey water, cleaning water), spreading bacterias and diseases with bilge water etc.

Leading Problem

Some of the mentioned impacts have practical solutions and some don't. Existing technologies and innovations have reduced impacts to a certain extent. But the main issue remained unsolved, unrecognized and unconsidered for more than hundreds of years. What is the main issue?

To make things simple, please follow this psychological approach. Just imagine waters without any ships, cargos, boats. Then, will that waters become polluted as today?, the answer will be a "NO". Again Imagine an ocean with a lesser number of ships than today. Will the marine environment polluted as same as today?, the answer will be a "NO". Obviously, If we can reduce the number of marine operations, the impacts to the environment will be reduced automatically. Truth is there are thousands of failed and unwanted transportation happening due to management problems. Only proper management techniques can reduce those. Empty container flows, Repositioning flows, Export flows, Import flows all should be properly managed to have a smooth, economical and efficient container shipping.

"Poor Management of maritime vehicles and transportation" is the leading ultimate problem which influences each and every other problem related to the shipping industry. Proper management can lead the Shipping Industry to become greener. "Global Container Shipping Industry Go Green"- This article is focused on one special project which presents a strong and sustainable technological solution to all of these maritime problems.

Blockshipping Paving the Path

Danish shipping culture took precedence over any other culture toward finding technologies and making environmental considerations in the shipping industry. Most of the existing techniques on the shipping industry which have created reasonable reduction on environmental impacts were invented by Danish shipping companies. For example, more than 70% of two-stroke ship engines installed on vessels worldwide are designed in Denmark. Advancements in those engines have reduced global emissions on a larger scale.

Danish company named as "Blockshipping" has introduced an extraordinary solution to leading problem with container shipping. They point out the fact that,12 trillion USD worth container shipping Industry has been running all along without a central registry. There are more than 27 million intermodal freight containers which have to be managed in location shifts, ownership changes and settling payments. Even though the problem identified, the hardest part will be the creation of a product according to the conceptual solutions. This is where the existing technologies have become failed. Blockshipping grabs the advantages in the cutting edge technology named as Blockchain to build their innovative solution to the reality. Blockshipping team has over 75 years of deep experience in container shipping industry and included with professionals expertized in Blockchain technology. So this much brainpower and technological advancements have led to an extraordinary solution named as GSCP Platform.

GSCP Platform

Introducing Global Shared Container Platform (GSCP) can be identified as the world's first freight container registry and the first global platform of the container shipping industry. GSCP Platform facilitates transportation needs and proper business solutions to container shipping related companies, individuals, organizations, users etc. GSCP Platform feeds by a next generational business mode, which runs through smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer programmed codes which cannot be falsified or altered in use.

Export flows, Import flows, Empty container flows, Repositioning flows etc, all can be properly managed in the GSCP Platform because it handles thousands of transactions simultaneously using the blockchain technology. Street-turn-technology is the most efficient method to handle empty containers, that has been included in GSCP platform. Due to this management strategy number of truck trips needed can be reduced largely. Greybox opportunity is the other major influencer included in GSCP Platform. Greybox opportunity is about sharing containers with the global users which is very complex to handle, but blockchain has simplified all of these complexities. Greybox opportunity will alone reduce 1.8 million tons of co2 emissions annually. Blockshipping will convert containers to smart containers by mounting sensors on them. The inclusion of that technologies with GSCP Platform will create a pleasant experience with container sharing.

Blockchain technology enables seamless and borderless experience for all the users- payments for any transaction from any reign have the same fee and with instant execution without borders. Blockchain enables trustless transactions, where no any intermediate trusted third party is wanted to verify transactions. That will cut off the costs paying for a trusted party. Fees of the platform are highly reduced due to those reasons. This much of favorable environment will attract millions of users to the container shipping. Usage of air freights will be reduced and that is a good solution to a greener future. Because the highest air pollution happened by air freights. Carbon dioxide emission of Air freights is about 80 times than the emission of container ships. Graph bellow will describe that,

Whitepaper of GSCP platform includes that, an annual amount of 5.7 billion USD can be saved to the container shipping industry by the implementation of GSCP platform. According to a recent analysis, GSCP Platform will reduce 4.6 million tons of carbon dioxide emission. That will be a massive impact to create a greener earth again. Service of the GSCP Platform is enormous, and It will obviously disrupt the Global Container Shipping Industry. Earlier mentioned problems that have practical solutions and those haven't both can experience the impacts of this ultimate solution. GSCP Platform will be the block shipping expert for the next generation.

GSCP ICO

The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is now live. GSCP platform will issue two token in the ICO first one is CPT or internal container platform token while another one is the CCC or container crypto coin. CPT will be used while making settlements and clearing of the transaction and always equal to US dollar value.
