About
Within SMATCON project, we aim to study the feasibility of the designing and development of a system that incorporates the data from smart containers, from the moment they are prepared for shipment to the time of their unloaded to the port of their destination. These devices will operate to make the containers “smart” and it shall transmit their data via terrestrial and satellite communications. From the blockchain ledger analysis we can extract information about all the historical data of a container and its shipping details – conditions, as well as conclusions to aid the actors of the value net’s decisions. These decisions are varied as to how they are processed. Furthermore, with the newly 5G-port installment on the biggest EU ports as well as the upcoming satellite communications, it is an excellent opportunity to design the automation of an ecosystem that collects and distributes real, invaluable data which handles it, automatically, accurately and timely, to better sustain and improve the EU and global maritime.
