Artificial Intelligence from Blockshipping brings real, and lasting, solutions to current supply chain challenges​

“The targeted AI approach developed by Blockshipping and their proven results, combined with our strong innovation vocation, convinced us that this is the best alternative for us."

Mr. Ignacio Huet Grondona, CIO, CSP Spain

COSCO Shipping Ports Spain chooses Blockshipping AI solutions to improve efficiency at its terminals

​​"The AI-IDP solution from Blockshipping has redefined our expectations regarding how AI can be used to reduce unproductive container moves to optimize import delivery further. Additionally, we are seeing the potential for our customers to increase container handling equipment utilization, which will help them increase throughput and reduce their carbon footprint."

Hugh Gallagher, VP Customer Success, Tideworks Technology​

There is great potential to deploy new and disruptive technology, such as AI, to further the green agenda. Increasing efficiency and productivity while also lowering CO2 emissions is not mutually exclusive. What we can do for the shipping industry, in collaboration with Blockshipping, is a great example of this,

Mikael Munck, CEO & Founder, 2021.AI

“Reducing shuffle moves by +30% also provides the opportunity to raise stacking height leading to improved utilization of equipment andyard space. Terminals and their customers also benefit from faster truck turn-time and overall improvement in efficiency”

Ian ​Sehgal, CEO & Founder, INVICTA
