Answer Jordan Customs uses blockchain technology to manage the supply chain
On December 16, the Jordan Customs Department announced a trial of the “TradeLens” blockchain platform.
The platform is a joint initiative between IBM and Maersk.
Under the agreement, a pilot area will be established at the Aqaba Customs Center to transport goods through the Aqaba Container Terminal using the TradeLens platform.
The Customs Department aims to take advantage of a blockchain solution to simplify the exchange of goods, automate documents and increase cooperation and communication between the parties to the process.
Abdul Majeed Al-Rahma, Director General of Customs, said:
The ministry has adopted several development projects to boost trade in the country and reduce smuggling and fraud in international trade.

Stephen Yogalingam, CEO of Aqaba Container Terminal, said:
TradeLens will help bring greater clarity, predictability, and security to Jordan’s single national window and will be a real asset for facilitating trade and transportation, making Jordan the preferred transportation and logistics gateway in the Levant.
Aqaba Container Terminal is the only container port in Jordan and is operated by the Aqaba Development Company and APM Terminals.
Maersk owns APM Terminals, which is also a member of the TradeLens platform.
TradeLens is trying to digitize the shipping industry to enable transparency.
The platform integrates IoT devices to monitor the temperature, weight and location of containers.
The platform includes as members five of the top six companies in ocean transportation:
“Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, Ocean Network Express, MSC and CMA-CGM”.
Mike White, CEO of Maersk GTD said:
Realizing the benefits of digital supply chain authentication and data integration with government agencies, logistics providers, shippers, terminal operators and carriers is fundamental to TradeLens’ vision of a more connected global supply chain.
Among other initiatives in the Middle East, Saudi Customs conducted a trial of transferring a shipment from Saudi Arabia to Rotterdam via the TradeLens blockchain platform.
