Blockchain aplicada ao porto sem papel

Abstract

With the advent of electronic systems for the exchange of information in the maritime port sector, as defined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic, it is clear the importance of safety issues regarding cyberattacks that may cause enormous damages to the entire logistic chain. Despite its primary purpose of making maritime operations more efficient, the Convention and the IMO Facilitation Committee sometimes do not concern themselves with issues related to the cyber security of these systems. From this, the present written report seeks to analyze the characteristics of Blockchain to determine the benefits which this technology can bring to the Brazilian maritime single-window system, the Paperless Port (Porto sem Papel), to make it safer, more reliable and more efficient.
