Transform container logistics by freeing yourself from legacy data systems, manual document handling and poor visibility.
A global growth opportunity
It’s estimated that global trade is now worth more than $18 trillion USD per year. The majority of traded goods are transported, at some point, by ocean going vessels in steel shipping containers. The value of that containerized freight is approximately $12 trillion USD. But paper-based trade and manual document-handling slow logistics and facilitation, reducing the potential by up to 15%.
As the world continues to develop, demand for container freight transport is projected to grow significantly. If we work together to scale information digitization and exchange then we can claim that 15%, resulting in a $1.8 trillion increase this year and $5.2 trillion per year by 2050.

Like with most business ecosystems, the functioning of global trade relies on efficient exchanges of information, especially of documents. While industries and ecosystems around the world are now digitizing associated processes and automating the bottlenecks, the business ecosystem of global shipping has been slower to realize innovation and digitization. TradeLens Workflows utilize blockchain smart contracts to automate and digitize multi-party interactions — this helps drive efficiencies across supply chains.
While intermodal transportation is a vast category that can include many methods of shipment, rail and trucking are the means most commonly associated within the industry. Assessing the benefits of intermodal transportation for any one business will depend on metrics collected by the industry. TradeLens provides secure and consistent access to unprecedented levels of event data including first and last mile, published directly from its source.
Providing government authorities with access to upstream transport data is one of the features of TradeLens. On the platform, customs authorities have access to data related to their countries from the moment a booking is placed with a carrier. Updates on documents from different data sources and transportation milestones are shared in near real-time.
