The blockchain-based global trade technology platform Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN) today said it had added Ocean Network Express Pte Ltd. (ONE) as its latest member.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Container carrier ONE has been upgrading its enterprise architecture and developing digital solutions with the goals of facilitating global trade, adding value to customers, and improving sustainability. The Singapore-based company had recently completed a trial of GSBN’s Cargo Release with its customers, and will now roll out it system-wide.

By joining Hong Kong-based GSBN, ONE gains access to the consortium’s blockchain-enabled platform, which facilitates secure and trusted exchange of data between different parties across global shipping supply chains.

Founded in 2021, GSBN is an independent, not-for-profit technology consortium that supports a data exchange platform for global carriers and terminal operators. Its goal is to provide an end to end, secure, digital collaboration platform leveraging blockchain technology to share verified logistics and cargo data to benefit all stakeholders involved in global trade.

“The shipping industry is at a critical moment in time where digitalization has the potential to enable a quantum leap. What’s needed to make this a success is trusted collaboration,” GSBN CEO Bertrand Chen said in a release. “We are pleased to be welcoming ONE who have been a pioneer in digital transformation and sustainability, and we look forward to collaborating to further contribute to the industry’s digital leap.”

Optoro: 69% of shoppers admit to “wardrobing” fraud

With returns now a routine part of the shopping journey, technology provider Optoro says a recent survey has identified four trends influencing shopper preferences and retailer priorities.

First, 54% of retailers are looking for ways to increase their financial recovery from returns. That’s because the cost to return a purchase averages 27% of the purchase price, which erases as much as 50% of the sales margin. But consumers have their own interests in mind: 76% of shoppers admit they’ve embellished or exaggerated the return reason to avoid a fee, a 39% increase from 2023 to 204.

BCG: tariffs would accelerate change in global trade flows

Geopolitical rivalries, alliances, and aspirations are rewiring the global economy—and the imposition of new tariffs on foreign imports by the U.S. will accelerate that process, according to an analysis by Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

Without a broad increase in tariffs, world trade in goods will keep growing at an average of 2.9% annually for the next eight years, the firm forecasts in its report, “Great Powers, Geopolitics, and the Future of Trade.” But the routes goods travel will change markedly as North America reduces its dependence on China and China builds up its links with the Global South, which is cementing its power in the global trade map.
