馬士基和IBM將成立合資公司
Maersk and IBM to Form Joint Venture
馬士基集團和IBM日前宣布將組建一家合資公司，通過區塊鏈技術為開展全球貿易提供更為高效、安全的方式。
Maersk and IBM announced their intent to establish a joint venture to provide more efficient and secure methods for conducting global trade using blockchain technology.
建立新合資公司旨在創建一個聯合開發的全球貿易數字化平台（簡稱GTD）。這個平台建立在開放的標準基礎之上，全球航運生態系統中的各方均可使用。
The aim of the new company will be to offer a jointly developed global trade digitization platform built on open standards and designed for use by the entire global shipping ecosystem.
它將解決在跨境和貿易區內貨物運輸方面的需求，使信息流更透明、更簡化。
It will address the need to provide more transparency and simplicity in the movement of goods across borders and trading zones.
區塊鏈技術的屬性決定其非常適合應用在擁有不同合作夥伴的大型網路之中。
The attributes of blockchain technology are ideally suited to large networks of disparate partners.
區塊鏈是通過分散式賬本技術建立起一個可以共享的、不可隨意篡改的、在該網路內發生的所有事務的記錄。這些記錄是可信的數據，獲得許可的參與方可以實時對其進行訪問。
A distributed ledger technology, blockchain establishes a shared, immutable record of all the transactions that take place within a network and then enables permissioned parties access to trusted data in real time.
通過將該技術應用於數字化的全球貿易流程，可以在信息流中引入一種發布指令和批准的新形式，使參與其中的多個貿易夥伴能夠進行合作，在不犧牲細節、維護隱私或機密性的前提下建立一個單一的可共享的交易文件。
By applying the technology to digitize global trade processes, a new form of command and consent can be introduced into the flow of information, empowering multiple trading partners to collaborate and establishing a single shared view of a transaction without compromising details, privacy or confidentiality.
馬士基集團是集裝箱運輸及物流領域的領軍企業， 而IBM公司是面向企業提供區塊鏈技術、供應鏈可視性和互通性操作解決方案的領先的供應商。
Maersk, a global leader in container logistics, and IBM, a leading provider of blockchain, supply chain visibility and interoperability solutions for the enterprise.
雙方將利用區塊鏈技術助力新平台GTD，同時採用其他基於雲計算的開源技術，其中包括通過IBM Services提供的人工智慧（AI）、物聯網及數據分析。這能夠幫助企業在國際跨境的貨物運輸和追蹤中實現數字化管理。
They will use blockchain technology to power the new platform, as well as employ other cloud-based open source technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), IoT and analytics, delivered via IBM Services, in order to help companies move and track goods digitally across international borders.
生產商、航運公司、貨物代理、港口和碼頭運營商及海關和相關部門都可以從這些新技術中受益，而普通消費者也將最終從中受益。
Manufacturers, shipping lines, freight forwarders, port and terminal operators and customs authorities can all benefit from these new technologies –and ultimately consumers.
新合資企業的建立將使IBM和馬士基能夠將解決方案商業化並擴展到更廣泛的全球性企業之中。很多跨國公司已經表達了他們對新平台的認可及希望探索使用這一平台的興趣。
The joint venture will now enable IBM and Maersk to commercialize and scale their solutions to a broader group of global corporations, many of whom have already expressed interest in the capabilities and are exploring ways to use the new platform.
在中國廣東檢驗檢疫局的支持下，該平台可以連接其開發的用於進出口商品的全球質量溯源系統，並將用戶鏈接到重要的中國進出口貿易通道。
With support from Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau by connecting to its Global Quality Traceability System for import and export goods, the platform can also link users to important trade corridors in and out of China.
為了滿足行業的具體需求，馬士基和IBM將會成立一個行業專家顧問委員會，幫助進一步打造良好的平台和服務，並根據重要的行業因素提供指導與反饋，推動更加開放的平台標準的建立。
To address the specific needs of the industry, Maersk and IBM are establishing an advisory board of industry experts to help further shape the platform and services, provide guidance and feedback on important industry factors, and drive open standards.
