As explained, the collaboration will eventually enable CMP
to modernise manual workflows and procedures and ensure more seamless
collaborations between actors within the logistics chain.
“We are constantly
working to further develop the port’s digital DNA as a tool to promote
intelligent logistics solutions. TradeLens offers a platform that enables, via
innovative blockchain technology, a more secure and transparent cooperation in
the logistics chain – thus benefiting all stakeholders by optimising
traditional workflows. There is no question that we need to be a part of this,”
Povl Dolleris Røjkjær Ungar, COO of Copenhagen Malmö Port, commented.
The TradeLens platform currently includes over 130 direct
connections to ports and terminals and continues to grow.
“TradeLens is an industry-wide neutral platform aiming to
transform a complex container logistics industry. The expansion and scale of
our digital ecosystem is the foundation for driving benefits for all on the
platform. With CMP collaborating with TradeLens, we welcome an important
Scandinavian port operator in joining our efforts to remove manual tasks and
enable digitized workflows across the logistics industry,” Lars Kastrup, Head of
Sales for TradeLens at Maersk, said.
In short, blockchain technology is a secure system making
what is referred to as the “Internet of Value” possible. What this means is the
exchange of unique information that cannot be copied or manipulated. It allows
parties to share information and be transparent to a degree that has not been
possible until now.
