2019年10月30日，西班牙巴塞罗那/PRNewswire/——ConsolFreight今日在巴塞罗那物联网方案世界大会（IoT Solutions World Congress）上发布全新概念证明报告“贸易转寄”（Trade Forward）。这一雄心勃勃的项目获得了Telefonica的支持，Telefonica通过自身物联网连接平台Kite为其提供连接性。该项目同时包含了使用EOSIO区块链技术的EOS Dublin、佛罗里达区块链基金（Florida Blockchain Foundation）以及为运输货物提供保险的Anova Marine等核心企业的合作。
该概念证明旨在提供流动性，创建新的收入流，并最终在供应链中进一步推进货运代理人的作用。贸易转寄是保险公司、金融机构以及物流供应商之间合作的新商业模式。此模式以货运代理人为核心，同时伴有以下优势：
- SME的金融包容性
- 全局监控贸易资产移动
- 精简多方之间的数据交换
- 减少供应链之间的风险和再分配
- 优化进出口的操作流动性
- 减少纸质文件和机构官僚主义
“银行在决定和验证交易货物的价值上具有局限性。它们让物流和金融机构之间泾渭分明，其间的资产价值完全与过程分离。因此才遗留下价值约1.6万亿美元的借贷市场有待利用。”ConsolFreight的CEO Ernesto Vila如此说道。
这次革命性的测试是由区块链、物流、供应链管理以及金融领域专家组成的专门小组进行。ConsolFreight生态系统中的成员与Telefonica以及Anova Marine等公司先行开展试点测试。这些合作让小型参与者能够接触较大的组织方案，产生了技术包容性。
首发TradeForward运输由货运代理Tech Cargo在南美地区展开。其后的运输将由 Freight and Transit Co. LTD进行，以确保非洲大陆的非传统贸易金融的开展。在拉丁美洲添加的试点运输将由ADEKO Enterprises S.A.、Globalog S.A.以及Tree Logistics承运。

BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Today, ConsolFreight released its new Proof of Concept report “Trade Forward” at the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona. The ambitious project has the support of Telefonica, who provided connectivity through Kite, their IoT connectivity platform. It also included the collaboration of key organizations such as EOS Dublin using EOSIO blockchain technology, the Florida Blockchain Foundation, and Anova Marine, which provided insurance coverage to the transported cargo.
The Proof of Concept aims to provide liquidity, create new revenue streams, and ultimately advance the role of freight forwarders in the Supply Chain. Trade Forward is a new business model of collaboration amongst insurance companies, financial institutions, and logistics providers. This model, where the freight forwarders are the centerpiece, brings the following benefits:
- SMEs financial inclusion
- Full oversight of trade asset movement
- Streamline data exchange between the multiple parties
- Risk mitigation and redistribution along the Supply Chain
- Optimized operational liquidity for exporters and importers
- Decreased paperwork and institutional bureaucracy
“Banks are short-sighted in determining and validating the value of the goods being financed. They have drawn a very distinctive line between Logistics and Financial institutions, where the value of the assets is entirely disconnected from the process. Thus, leaving an untapped market of unfulfilled credit demand estimated at $1.6 trillion,” says ConsolFreight’s CEO, Ernesto Vila.
This revolutionary test was carried out by a dedicated team of experts in blockchain, logistics, supply chain management, and finance. Members of the ConsolFreight ecosystem are conducting pilots along with companies like Telefonica and Anova Marine. These partnerships are allowing smaller players to get access to larger organization solutions, generating technological inclusion.
The first TradeForward shipment was handled by freight forwarder Tech Cargo in the region of North America. The following shipments will be carried out by Freight and Transit Co. LTD to enable non-traditional trade finance in the African continent. Additional pilots in LATAM will be carried out by ADEKO Enterprises S.A., Globalog S.A., and Tree Logistics.
