Molenbergnatie Belgium participates in innovative, secured container release project.
2018/02/18
Trust is an essential factor in
freight transport, especially in container transport. After all, lots of
different parties, such as carriers, terminals, forwarders, hauliers,
drivers, shippers etc, are involved along the logistics chain.
Therefore, a
well-structured and secure data traffic system is indispensable. Not easy to
come by, these days.
That is why Antwerp start-up T-mining has decided to
develop and test blockchain-based applications for container logistics. As
Blockchain offers the technology for encrypting data, these applications should
significantly improve security during containers’ physical handover in ports. Blockchain
technology will also allow an easy and secure sharing of information and
transfer of assets across the whole supply chain.
At the port of Antwerp, a pilot
project using this technology is currently being carried out. This in
participation with a limited number of large operators and Molenbergnatie
Belgium. For Molenbergnatie the decision to get involved fits our ambition to
be part of a community where all parties work closely together on a new,
profitable future, for everyone.
Of course we will keep you
informed about the results and the further evolution of this unique initiative.
