Is blockchain a solution for logistics and freight transportation problems

摘要: Abstract The fragmented market of freight transportation imposes several inefficiency costs as a result delay, double-spending, disputes, and cancellations. While in such competitive market, every player seeks its own profit, optimisation at individual level also becomes harder due to invisibility disconnectivity. Although tackling some these issues are doable by synchronization, encryption integration, it seems that blockchain not only incorporates all solutions one package, but may provide other economic benefits. This paper discusses blockchain’ s potential improving the inefficiencies maritime supply chain logistics, well limitations challenges.
