ICTSI goes blockchain
Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI), an international port and terminal operator active in 19 countries, has signed on to connect its current 31 terminals to the platform of Trade Lens, a blockchain software jointly developed by IBM and Maersk, which aggregates for all ICTSI terminals accurate information on cargo movements well in advance of vessel arrivals.
Tracking of containers through the networked exchange of data enables asset planning for all entities involved. Launched in 2018, the Trade Lens platform currently includes more than 175 organisations – extending to more than ten ocean carriers and encompassing data from about 600 ports and terminals. (cd)
