5 5 Innovation in PORTEL At the beginning of 2018, Portel created an specific Innovation and Business Development Department. PORTEL SERVICES TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION Microservices architecture (MSA): small services running autonomously but communicating with each other Sharing Information: EDI platforms, Integrations and Disruptive technologies as Blockchain Analytics: data sharing through Open Data solutions and exploitation of the same for Big Data tools. Internet of Things (IoT): for automation and real-time information from physical devices. User Experiences Interfaces: (UX) user interfaces that allows users to interact with electronic devices & solutions in a suitable way Application mobility: Mobile applications (APPS) and responsive design

6 Blockchain applications in transport and logistics

7 Blockchain definition Blockchain is a distributed database that holds records of digital data or events in a way that makes them tamper-resistant. While many users may access, inspect, or add to the data, they can t change or delete it. Source: Investopedia In short, blockchain is a record-keeping mechanism that makes it easier and safer for businesses to work together over the internet

8 Basic functioning

9 Blockchain in different sectors Supply Chain Government Services Insurance Energy Healthcare Agriculture

10 Blockchain in Supply Chains If Logistics companies want to meet changing expectations. They will need to focus on: Digital fitness Cost efficiency Asset productivity And innovation BC Impact on Supply Chain: Enhanced supply chain security (reduction of fraud) Reduction in bottlenecks (certification by 3rd parties) Reduction of errors (no more paperbased documentation) Increased efficiency

11 BC Best practices World trade Organization World Trade Report: The future of world trade: How digital technologies are transforming global commerce. Main focus is on: Provenance and authenticity of goods Stated value of goods for the purposes of insurance Duties payment Protection of goods during shipping (i.e. integrity of packaging, container conditions, etc.) Integrity of information that is used by regulatory authorities for the risk assessments which determine inspections and clearances

12 BC Best practices UN/CEFACT UNITED NATIONS CENTRE FOR TRADE FACILITATION AND ELECTRONIC BUSINESS Draft Context Model for ICT Trade Technologies

13 BC Best practices Maersk IBM initiative A global trade platform using blockchain technology aimed at improving the cost of transportation, lack of visibility and inefficiencies with paper-based processes

14 BC Best practices IPCSA Blockchain Initiative for Bill of Lading

15 Other BC practices: in ports Port of Valencia: have joined Maersk and IBM s TradeLens project, a technological solution to apply blockchain to the global supply chain and they are planning a smart port based on blockchain technology (ES Port Authority of Valencia) Blockchain smart port case: efficient and secure container release in the port of Antwerp (BE Port of Antwerp/TMining)

16 Other BC practices: Customs and logistic services Private Sector such as Freight Forwaders, Customs Brokers, Transport Companies focused on: Payments, Administrative Procedures, Dispute Resolutions in Intermodal Transport (Air and Maritime) (ES Portel)

17 Other BC practices: Road Transport Blockchain In Trucking Alliance (BiTA) BiTA s was formed by experienced technology, transportation and supply chain executives to create a forum for the development of blockchain standards and education for the freight industry. (US)

18 Challenges for Implementation Blockchain Uncertainties Rate of adoption uncertain Unclear whether one or two dominant solutions will emerge or multiple competing solutions Lack of Trusted Partners in blocks

19 Our approach Focus on: Complex scenarios Collaborative Environments New Business Models Added Value Services Cost effciency (Value for Money)

20 The Network of PCS

21 The value PCSs added value Existing trusted networks for process harmonization and integration Adding real time port processes information to reduce risk Bridge different technology adoption levels Gateway for local and global network Gateway to government authorities The future: 2 nd PCS revolution Network of Trusted Networks
