One of the busiest ports in Spain, based in the city of Valencia, has announced the creation of a "smart door" that will use blockchain and big data technologies. The news was revealed in a statement published Wednesday, October 3 on the official website of the port.
Jose Garcia De La Guia, who is responsible for the implementation of new technologies in the Port Authority of Valencia, explains that he sees the blockchain as a good option to improve logistics not only in Valencia, but in many international ports:
"Starting from Valencia, we offer the use of blockchain as a strategic option to ensure transparency of the supply chain, from one end to the other, going beyond our own port, which means we are planning to apply the technologies cloud not only with our Porto partners. Community systems but also with everyone else. "
De La Guia also states that blockchain would contribute to the creation of "ports without documents", to optimize resources worldwide, reduce the time spent on maintenance and reduce costs.
The message was delivered during the Smart Ports & Supply Chain Technologies conference held this week in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, which was attended by officials from the Port of Valencia and representatives of Antwerp (Belgium) and Algeciras (Spain). Also the Danish company Blockchain Labs for Open Collaboration became part of the event.
Blockchain is widely used by international ports to improve logistics. For example, the UK's leading port operator, Associated British Ports (ABP), will soon be taking part in pilot shipments using decentralized solutions, while Denmark has revealed its plans to implement the blockchain for local naval registers. Meanwhile, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Ports has also launched a national logistic blockchain network.
As reported previously by Cointelegraph, Spain remains one of the countries that is constantly optimistic about blockchain on many levels. For example, the Spanish community of Aragon has recently announced that it will implement blockchain in the public administration. Catalonia is also interested in the use of decentralized solutions to solve social problems.
