Dear Community,

It is time to give you an update on how things are progressing at Blockshipping

The good news is that things are going well. We are receiving positive feedback and attention from all over the world. There is a lot of support and recognition for our mission which in short is:

helping the container lines achieve huge cost savings which they cannot achieve alone
achieve significant reduction of CO2 emissions and general pollution
help transform the container shipping industry by launching products that will benefit cargo owners and make the global supply chain industry more efficient

Blockshipping is creating the Global Shared Container Platform (GSCP), which is both the first real-time registry of the world’s approximately 27 million shipping containers and an ecosystem platform for all players in the global container shipping industry. The GSCP platform will result in industry savings of USD 5.7 billion annually through smarter handling of shipping containers, and it will reduce the global CO2 emissions with a least 4,6 million tons annually.

The first customer announced

Blockshipping has already announced that the first customer has signed up for the GSCP platform. The name of the customer is still confidential, but it is a global container carrier in the international rank of 10–20.

The first video showing a prototype of a vital part of the GSCP platform has also been released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3iygkWcMH8

When fully developed the GSCP platform will include more than 34 different products and services all related to the global handling of freight containers for a wide range of shipping industry partners — and all contributing to the revenue generation and the subsequent payout through the revenue sharing model.

Platform and Product development to commence soon

Over the past couple of months in parallel with running our ICO Blockshipping has achieved a lot of progress in getting ready to start product development. As soon as our ICO completes we will kick off our development program by implementing a Blockchain enabled Container Register as our first product and infrastructure component.

The GSCP platform will be based on best in class technology and we have concluded contracts with key vendors and made strategic decisions with regard to the choice of cloud platform and other technologies.

High reward on contributions

Blockshipping has developed a unique Revenue Sharing Model giving back a substantial cut of ALL future revenue on the GSCP platform to the owners of Blockshipping’s CCC tokens. Eventually CCC holders will be rewarded in excess of 100% per year and we have ongoing efforts to make this even higher by adding more utilities to this unique eco system.

Estimated reward on contribution per year

Funding

The initial funding of Blockshipping has been provided by founders, business angels and the Danish Maritime foundation.

So far more than 4 million CCC tokens have been sold during the first part of the ICO. People are buying CCC tokens every day from our sales portal, and in addition we currently have a line of promising ongoing dialogues with larger contributors. As expected, we had a relatively slow start of the public sale, but things are clearly accelerating now, and we firmly believe in a successful conclusion of the ICO.

We are very appreciative as this will mean that a very important funding of Blockshipping’s GSCP platform has been secured enabling Blockshipping to get started immediately on platform and product development.

If you want to contribute to the ICO, please go to the sales portal on www.blockshipping.io or send us an e-mail on info@blockshipping.net, and we will come back to you immediately.

We are working on many more initiatives and will communicate to you as all of this is materializing.
