In brief: Singapore to launch maritime blockchain pilot
- Singapore will launch a blockchain pilot to cut waiting times for container ships and the risk of fraud.
- Dubbed TradeTrust, the project will turn paper-based bills of lading into digital documents that can be shared and accessed when container ships dock and unload in Singapore.
- The project comes after a previous initiative between national carrier Pacific International Lines and tech giant IBM to use blockchain in the maritime supply chain.
