China’s shipping player COSCO Shipping Lines and Hong Kong’s independent not-for-profit technology consortium Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN) have unpacked a new pilot focused on ‘enhancing’ the sharing of digital documents and certificates for dangerous and critical cargo transportation.
GSBN, the shareholders of which are comprised of major global carriers and terminal operators including COSCO Shipping Lines, COSCO Shipping Ports, Hapag-Lloyd, Hutchison Ports, OOCL, SPG Qingdao Port, PSA International and Shanghai International Port Group, passed regulatory approvals and started its operations in March 2021.
