Secured trade lane between Egypt and Italy
The first pilot project to ship containers from Italy to Egypt under the control of RFID eSeals has been completed. The fast & secure trade lane between the ports of Genoa and Alexandria is now a fact.
The project, developed within the framework of the European project Fenix, involved the Italian shipping company Ignazio Messina, the Circle group and the terminals IMT in Genoa and Ocean Express in Alexandria.
The aim is the full digitalisation and harmonisation of document flows between the various players of the logistic corridor thanks also to IoT (internet of things) technologies and special eSeals with RFID technology that allow the immediate identification of containers, of their content, possible mishandlings, with the effect of reducing margins of error and securing all the operations, first of all customs clearance.
