The agreement features a four-party collaboration agreement between IQAX, COSCO Shipping Captive Insurance, COSCO Shipping Lines, and the Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN).
On 14 December, a COSCO customer was the first to carry out a one-click title transfer that coordinated the transfer of both a blockchain-based eBL and an electronic insurance policy.
According to IQAX, the partnership will stipulate that a shipping insurance e-platform will collaborate with the Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN) and the IQAX eBL system.
In a statement IQAX highlighted a milestone in China’s shipping and digital transformation: “The cooperation between IQAX eBL and COSCO Shipping Captive Insurance marks a new milestone in the digital transformation of China’s shipping cross-border trade, promoting the eBL system as a new engine to develop strategic emerging industries in the digital shipping economy and expanding the IQAX eBL ‘circle of friends’.
