This document provides an overview of blockchain technology applications in logistics and transportation. It discusses several enterprise blockchain projects involving major companies like Maersk, IBM, Walmart, and Microsoft to improve supply chain management and tracking of goods. Consortia funded by governments in countries like Germany and Finland are also mentioned as working on blockchain solutions for secure document management and data sharing across the logistics industry. The document aims to illustrate the potential of blockchain technology to increase transparency, efficiency and reduce costs in supply chain and transportation processes.

SMART CONTRACTS
CHALLENGES
CAUTION Must not be designed so carelessly that new complexity is introduced
DANGERS It could prove very awkward, if not impossible, to unwind a feral smart contract given
the technology challenge for judges and arbitrators and any jurisdictional maze
CHALLENGE Getting the technology right and making it very very easy to use is the challenge
DETERMINISM Contracts should be the same, regardless of who looks at them and when
SMART CONTRACTS MUST BE SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND EXECUTE!

MAERSK + IBM
TRACKING CARGO ON BLOCKCHAIN
„The projects we are doing with IBM aim at
exploring a disruptive technology such as
blockchain to solve real customer problems and
create new innovative business models for the
entire industry“
- End-to-end visability of customs documents,
bills of lading and other data to each parti-
cipant based on their level of permission
- No one party can modify, delete or even
append any record w/o consensus
- Fraud and error potential reduced, reduce
time and costs, improve inventory mgt

MICROSOFT + MOJIX
PROJECT MANIFEST
"Project Manifest is actually designed to look at
the challenges of visibility in the supply chain. One
of the reasons why we worked with Mojix is
because they already have technology and know-
how in supply chains for scanning RFIDs.“
- Actually an academic project is carried out with
> a dozen companies (retailers and brands) by
the Aubun University
- Turn a distributed ledger into the „connected
tissue“ that gives complicated cross-industry
supply chains real-time accuracy
- Deploy Ethereum, automating the writing,
shipping and receiving of transactions in smart
contracts on the blockchain

WALMART
DELIVERY DRONES
Walmart is seeking to patent a system that uses
blockchain to track packages delivered by un-
manned drones. The patent application explains:
„Package tracking by blockchain may include
elements including but not limited to location,
supply chain transition, authentication of the
courier and customer, ambient temperature of the
container, temperature of the product if available,
acceptable thresholds for ambient temperature of
the product, package contents placed in the
container system (products & goods), or a
combination thereof.“

ESSDOCS (ASOF JULY ´17 NON-BLOCKCHAIN)
PAPERLESS TRADE SOLUTIONS
„essDOC´ mission is to enable paperless trade.
Our CargoDocs platform digitizes trade opera-
tions, finance and logistics. essDOCS´ vision is for
all domestic & international trade to be executed
in a digital & automated manner.
CargoDocs is a secure, cloud-based platform that
ties many disparate offerings into a modular,
complete paperless trade solution.“
In March 2017 essDOCS announced to work on a
blockchain module for CorgoDocs, which will
allow data relating to original electronic bill of
lading to be held on a distributed ledger.
essDOCS today is present in 168 countries serving more
than 18,000 customers and 37 banking groups.

SKUCHAIN
BLOCKCHAIN BASED SCM PLATFORM
"Skuchain is a blockchain platform that provides
transparency, security and efficiency to the supply
chain, enabling optimal planning and agility for
downstream buyers and working capital relief for
upstream suppliers.“
- IMT provides inventory financing that de-risks
transactions and unlocks capital opportunities for
the entire supply chain.
- Popcodes are Proof of Provenance codes, a
crypto-serialization solution to track flow of goods
on SKU level.
- BRACKETS are cryptographically secure smart
contracts governing an entire purchase cycle.

AGRIDIGITAL
TRUST&TRANSPARENCY
„At AgriDigital we develop solutions to real world
problems in the agriculture sector. We bring trans-
parency, efficiency and trust to farmers and the
post-farmgate ecosystem.“
- Integrated commodity management solution for
the global grains industry
- applied blockchain technologies, distributed
ledgers and smart contracts
- realtime payment
- increased efficiency

PROVENANCE
EVERY PRODUCT HAS A STORY
„Provenance is a platform that empowers brands
to take steps toward greater transparency by
tracing the origins and histories of products. With
our technology, you can easily gather and verify
stories, keep them connected to physical things
and embed them anywhere online.“
- Provenance data can be linked to any physical
– though labelling, smart tags and through
embeds for a website or app.
- Focussing on increased brand trust by
transparency and verifiable data
- Create a digital passport for every product

Target: tackle a large-scale blockchain project in
the logistics sector
Project start: Nov, 2016 – Eof 2018
Investment: 2,2 M €
Partners: TU Delft, ABN-AMRO, SCF Community,
Port of Rotterdam, RoyalFloraHolland, 10 others
The final result of the project is centred on
delivering three concrete use cases:
- Chain financing
- Supply financing

ANTWERP PORT
TESTS BLOCKCHAIN CONTAINER RELEASE
Antwerp Port and Singapore Port have started
piloting a blockchain solution that will give truckers,
shippers and other parties greater security when
co-ordinating a container´s release.
The aim is to simplify the paperwork and mes-
saging involved in the logistics transactions of
carriers, terminals, forwarders, hauliers, drivers and
shippers.
Selected companies participating in the tests also
include an unnamed forwarder and a transporter,
in the aim to commercialise the product by the end
of 2017.
