Our Platform

 

The trusted and accessible operating system powering the global shipping trade.

GSBN is built on a permissioned blockchain with strong data governance where only authorized parties are granted the right to contribute and consume shipping related data. By leveraging immutability of the blockchain and data field level privacy through cryptography, participants in the supply chain such as Terminals, Carriers, Shippers, Freight Forwarders, Truckers, Customs and Financial Institutions, can collaboratively design and enable industry wide, end to end, solutions. 

GSBN was established on a not for profit basis to ensure neutrality of the platform.


Our ESG Value

 

ESG is rising high on the agenda of governments, boardrooms and investors. While the shipping industry is increasingly under pressure to meet sustainability targets, it still lacks the underlying infrastructure to effectively do so. 

 

GSBN strive to promote the digitization of the global trade sector, which will result in more comprehensive data sharing and help parties reduce their carbon footprint through efficiency, eventually enabling better governance and risk management.
