In the world of global shipping and logistics, the challenge of determining responsibility when cargo is damaged has long vexed stakeholders, including shippers, consignees, and carriers. However, Ngibip Marcel’s perspective offers a ray of hope through the adoption of technology-driven solutions. Shippers can enhance cargo oversight using tracking devices and smart contracts to not only monitor shipments but also provide irrefutable evidence of cargo conditions. Consignees stand to benefit from blockchain technology, which ensures accurate contract verification and error-free digital documentation. Carriers, too, can utilize sensors, electronic delivery proof, and blockchain for transparency, safeguarding themselves against undue blame. By embracing these technologies, the entire logistics ecosystem can look forward to smoother, more reliable global operations, ultimately strengthening the global supply chain.
