PAPERLESS PEARL RIVER BARGE OPERATIONS

This process is for foreign trade import activities at Huangpu Xinsha Terminal and follows another recent solution undertaken by a terminal of Guangzhou Port which realised the extensive promotion of blockchain-based paperless cargo release at Nansha Phase II Terminal.

Cosco Shipping Lines has been working in partnership with Guangzhou Port Group to identify and implement additional business links with the blockchain platform through paperless bill exchange and on the basis of electronic container pick-up services at Huangpu Xinsha Terminal.

As a consequence of these processes, the barge-based foreign trade import business in the Pearl River region is moving from paper to blockchain, which for cargo shippers means online access for self-service for cargo release and container pick-up, with the entire operational process becoming more visible, efficient, and more risk-controlled.
