Dakosy and DBH are putting the tecnología blockchain available to its users for the first time. The suitability and practicality of blockchain for the launch process has already been confirmed as part of the IHATEC ROboB research project.

Dirk Gladiator, Authorized Officer of Dakosy, He explained that "our solution for the digitized launch process builds on existing platforms and processes that are already being widely used by stakeholders in German seaports."

The app will be available in the Hamburg and Bremen community port systems.

In Hamburg, this will be integrated into the Import Message Platform (IMP), and in the ports of Bremen and Wilhelmshaven, as part of the Business Integration Platform (BIP).

Until now, release orders were generally not communicated digitally, but exchanged between the parties in the traditional way via fax, email or telephone.

With the use of the established IMP and BIP platforms and the optional addition of blockchain, the strict requirements for access authorizations and secure IT processes have now been met.

Release is a delicate process, as the release order authorizes the keeper to release the container, which often contains goods of considerable value.
