When Maersk’s container ships embark on their voyages around the world over the next few months, their hulls will be tracked and insured via a blockchain- based system. Blockchain will also be used to help decide how the ships will be insured if they sail through war zones.

The shipping company has teamed up with the consultancy EY, insurers XL Catlin and MS Amlin and the broker Willis Towers Watson to create a system which, they hope, will lead to more efficient insurance policies that are more tailored to what Maersk needs.
