Physical Infrastructure 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
