Protocols
Shipping
The global trade network is like an internet of physical goods, but lacks a standard.
The same way data passes between devices via the internet, goods pass between network nodes to reach their final destination.
Shipping Nodes:
- Ocean ports
- Airports
- Warehouses
Without a logistics standard to act as a request-response protocol, all the players must stitch their networks together manually.
- Suppliers
- Drayage
- Ports
- Warehouses
- Buyers
