Shanghai: Leveraging Blockchain Technology to Empower International Multimodal Logistics Collaboration

According to ChainCatcher, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce and nine other departments and organizations have issued the "Several Measures for the Special Action to Promote Cross-Border Trade Facilitation at Shanghai Port in 2025." From now until the end of August 2025, Shanghai Port will carry out this year's special action to promote cross-border trade facilitation, continuously advancing reforms to the business environment in the field of international trade. Among the measures proposed is the optimization of the logistics and transportation network at Shanghai Port.

Relying on international container transport service platforms (MaaS) and other systems, blockchain technology will be leveraged to empower collaborative cooperation in international multimodal logistics. The development of the "single document system" and "single container system" for multimodal transport will be accelerated. The construction of the inland waterway transport system will be promoted, and the creation of direct river-sea channels will be expedited. Regulatory models such as "linked unloading" and "departure confirmation" will continue to be advanced to improve regional logistics efficiency.
