France’s biggest seaport, the Port of Marseille Fos, has successfully
completed a blockchain pilot in freight forwarding. Cargo tracker Marseille Gyptis International (MGI), shipping platform provider BuyCo, and blockchain firm KeeeX implemented the solution.
The project,
announced in March and launched in June, hoped to simplify data sharing and streamline the supply chain. According to the port authority, the blockchain pilot “demonstrated that harmonisation of the digital transport chain improved fluidity, reliability and competitiveness of pre- and post-forwarding on the crucial hinterland axis.”
This axis is the Méditerranée-Rhône-Saône (MeRS) corridor, a major trading area for French shipping. By using blockchain to store protected documents and sharing access with relevant parties, the port saw efficiency benefits here, particularly in
multimodal transporting.
