CargoSmart, maritime industry operators commit to transforming shipping industry
Leading global shipment management
soſtware
solutions provider, CargoSmart, announced the execution of Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN) Services Agreements with maritime industry operators CMA CGM, COSCO Shipping Lines, COSCO Shipping Ports, Hapag-Lloyd, Hutchison Ports, OOCL, Port of Qingdao, PSA International and Shanghai International Port Group. Under these agreements,
each signatory commits to provide resources to support preparatory work required to establish the GSBN, a not-for- profit joint venture to accelerate the digital transformation of the
shipping industry. That
preparatory work includes obtaining all necessary regulatory, competition and
antitrust approvals required for the establishment of the GSBN. CargoSmart will provide soſtware solutions and services to the GSBN once it is formed. Upon its establishment, the
GSBN intends to provide a platform for all shipping supply chain
participants to work
collaboratively to accelerate technology innovation and develop solutions through trusted
and secure data
exchange platforms. The signatories firmly
believe that the GSBN can unlock underlying value and
create exciting new
opportunities for all shipping supply chain participants in a more open and transparent way.
While the current signatories
are shipping lines and terminal operators,
it is envisaged
that other participants in the shipping industry may wish to join the GSBN or otherwise benefit from the innovative solutions it develops. Unique to the industry, the
GSBN will be set up as a not- for-profit joint venture entity once the relevant
regulatory
approvals are obtained, with the goal of transforming the global
supply chain with
openness and transparency. Its intended data platform will similarly aim to strike a balance between the interests of data providers and data users, and fairly recognize the value that data providers bring to the development of technology solutions. As part of the preparatory
work required to set up the GSBN,
the signatories plan to establish strong data
management and governance frameworks that will apply once the GSBN is formed, including
the principle that
participants should retain control over their data being shared through the GSBN. Upon its establishment, it is
envisioned that the GSBN will provide shipment visibility and transparency through a trusted data source. In addition to establishing a data governance framework, once it is formed the GSBN will also consider and lead the development of a roadmap of use cases, data access APIs and applications. The signatories of the GSBN
Services Agreements plan to complete the establishment of the GSBN in early 2020, subject to obtaining all requisite anti-trust, competition and regulatory approvals.

Working closely with CHAMP Cargosystems, its principal cargo IT systems partner, Japan Airlines has successfully launched an advanced digitalization platform, designed to revolutionize the cargo processes – initially across the airline’s busy domestic network, whilst simultaneously delivering major benefits to the carrier’s valued customers. Built on CHAMP’s Open Cargo Platform, the solution, operated by CHAMP on behalf of JAL, consists of an ergonomically-designed, workflow-based portal that enables the airline’s customers to transact business digitally, together with an advanced “smart” mobile app that fully automates the end-to-end processes within JAL’s cargo warehouses.
CargoLogicAir, the Great British Cargo Airline, has implemented CHAMP’s Weight & Balance solution - flying again to provide much needed freighter capacity supporting the global supply chain in these challenging times. Aſter suspending operations in February, CargoLogicAir (CLA) resumed operations in April with two B747- 400F to transport personal protective equipment (PPE) for the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
American Airlines has parked its remaining Airbus A330-200 aircraſt for the next two years. The aircraſt are a staple for the airline on US-Europe routes. AA is also retiring about 100 older jets including the B757 fleet, B767 fleet and older A330-300 jets in addition to its E190 and CJR200 planes.
Turkish Cargo became the first air cargo airline toconcurrently achieve all three “CEIV Pharma, CEIV Fresh, and CEIV Live Animals” certifications, under the IATA CEIV (Center of Excellence for Independent Validators) program. Pursuing the air cargo
services as based on the vision created by Turkish Airlines, its master brand, Turkish Cargo carries out the transportation of drugs/medical products, live animals and perishable
products in compliance with international and industry standards. Having satisfied the for
requirements the
certifications in the wake of the training, assessment and validation processes created by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), with the objective of raising the bar in performance and operations related to the transport of special cargo products, to ensure compliance with the
highest standards and ensuring continuous improvement, Turkish Cargo became a holder of the CEIV certificates which represent its approach based on excellence for the special cargo operations. The certifications have a validity period of three years. “Turkish Cargo deserves to
be praised for becoming not only the world’s first air cargo airline to concurrently hold all three CEIV certificates, but also the first air cargo airline
Leading Danish companies join forces on an ambitious sustainable fuel project
Copenhagen Airports, A.P. Moller - Maersk, DSV Panalpina, DFDS,
SAS and
Ørsted have brought together the demand and supply side of sustainable fuels in a unique partnership with the concrete vision to develop a new ground- breaking hydrogen and e-fuel
production facility as soon as 2023. When fully scaled- up by 2030, the project could deliver more than 250,000 tonnes
of sustainable fuel
for busses, trucks, maritime vessels, and airplanes every year. Production would potentially be based on a total electrolyser capacity of 1.3
gigawatts, which would likely make it one of the world’s largest facilities of its kind. The production from the fully scaled facility can reduce annual carbon emissions by 850,000 tonnes. COWI and BCG act as
knowledge partners for the project, and the project is
in Europe to have obtained the CEIV Live Animals certificate,” said Glyn Hughes, IATA Global Head of Cargo. “The air cargo industry now enters a period whereby the vulnerability at the special cargo services is augmented, and the CEIV program intends to ensure that the sensitive cargo is transported and delivered at the highest standards, meticulously and punctiliously, as much as possible.”
supported by the Municipality of Copenhagen in line with Copenhagen’s ambitious policies for decarbonization. However, the partnership hopes that the project can, over time, act as a catalyst for similar projects in other parts of Denmark and internationally. If realized as envisaged,
the project will be located in the Greater Copenhagen Area and could supply renewable hydrogen for zero-emission busses tendered by Movia and heavy-duty trucks managed by DSV Panalpina, renewable methanol

Maersk vessels and renewable jet fuel (e-kerosene) for SAS airplanes and air transport out of Copenhagen Airports. The project will require a large-scale supply of renewable electricity, which could potentially come from offshore wind power produced at Rønne Banke off the island of Bornholm. T oda y sustainable

become competitive with fossil fuels, the production of sustainable fuels will need to be matured, built at
industrial scale, and go
through a cost-out journey similar to what has been seen over the past decade in other renewable energy technologies, such as offshore wind, onshore wind and solar PV. As an example, the cost of offshore wind has declined by approximately 70% in
