In 2018, Bloc, with the support of Lloyd’s Register Foundation, launched the Maritime Blockchain Labs (MBL) initiative to investigate and assess the applicability of blockchain technology for addressing business challenges, and in particular safety in the maritime sector. The objective was to increase the likelihood of creating impactful and scalable technology for the maritime sector focussing on the safety of engineered systems.
One of the Blockchain labs focused on the issue of misdeclaration of dangerous goods.
Exis Technologies was a consortium member in the lab along with Agility, Port+, Flexport, Marine Transport International (MTI), SecureSystem, Copenhagen-Malmo Port (CMP), DSV, X-Press Feeders and Lloyd’s Register Group (LRG).
The Blockchain reports have now been published and are available below.
