The shipping industry is progressing at a steady rate owing to the praiseworthy achievements in the field of technology, which has definitely gone a long way in making things easier for mankind and the maritime arena is no exception. The blockchain technology is being regarded as one of such groundbreaking accomplishments that have been able to provide an innovative and improved solution for enhancing the efficiency of the global supply chain. With the onset of a blockchain-based platform, the need for stressful, time-consuming paperwork can be diminished as each and every transaction that concerns the major aspects of the shipping sector (such as ship owners, charters, buyers/sellers of shipment, port authorities, banks, agents etc.) are aligned together on a common, hassle-free interface that connects the entire world. The proper management of the global supply chain can indeed be a tricky thing, as the process of connecting the creation and active distribution of cargo across a myriad of geographical locations, invoices, and payments can certainly pose as a daily challenge for the shipping organizations. This is the reason why we desperately need the digital-based, blockchain platform for simplifying the complex procedure and accentuating the level of transparency within the logistics segment. The use of cryptocurrency can unite the financial transactions occurring on a blockchain platform and can be used to seal any agreements or contracts, as well. Plus, the blockchain technology can ensure a safe and secure interface with its in-built chain of command, for recording the multiple copies of any interaction across the supply chain. Echoing this global drift towards adapting to the digital era in the world of shipping, the well-known logistics specialist, DHL has entered into a partnership with BMW to further establish the significance of utilizing the blockchain to increase the efficiency within the supply chain. The two, world-famous organizations are following the same quest of ushering in the power of blockchain and to simultaneously work toward developing a proof-of-concept for the correct usage of private, blockchain technology. This private platform will ensure a smooth transfer of information and shipment data, without the necessity of manual assistant or human intervention if there is ever an unforeseen delay or breakdown. This collaboration between BMW and DHL is primarily focussed on the Asia-Pacific region that is universally regarded to be the primary hub for digital technology innovation. The power-packed companies have together overcome many hurdles in the global supply chain, be it a dealership case or end-user delivery. The provision of establishing restricted access so that there is privacy for each of the partners involved in the formulation of a common interface is very effective, no doubt whatsoever. Moreover, it has been observed that the various touchpoints between the organizations are linked with the aid of real-time visibility that will preside over the course of action, right from the order to the delivery. DHL is of the opinion that this fine balance between transparency and security on the blockchain platform will go a long way in solving and improving the current scenario of the regular customers in the maritime industry.
