ONE joins GSBN to advance digitalisation in shipping
Singapore-based shipping company Ocean Network Express (ONE) has joined Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN), an independent, not-for-profit technology consortium building a blockchain-enabled operating system.
The joining follows a successful trial of GSBN’s Cargo Release with ONE’s vessels. Now, by joining GSBN, ONE will gain access to the consortium’s blockchain-enabled platform, which facilitates the exchange of data between different parties across global shipping supply chains.
ONE will also use GSBN’s growing ecosystem of members and applications on its platform including Cargo Release, which “offers a paperless, highly efficient, and transparent solution connecting all parties involved at the port of import”.
