The research project behind the product has been in operation since 1998, coordinat- ed by the Ship & Ocean Foundation with support of the Nippon Foundation. More than 50 companies are current shareholders in the company, including shipbuilders and ship machinery suppli- ers. Major Ocean Carriers Partner To Launch E-Commerce Solution Nine of the world's leading ocean car- riers are joining forces with Tradiant in a partnership that is designed to enable importers and exporters to greatly sim- plify the process of containerized trans- portation at a significant cost and time savings. The carriers have collaborated with Tradiant in a multi-million dollar part- nership to launch a new initiative in the first quarter of 2001. This is a complete- ly neutral technology platform that will facilitate transactions between the vari- ous parties involved in international trade. Carriers involved in the project include: APL; CP Ships the contain- ershipping business of Canadian Pacific Limited — which includes ANZDL, Canada Maritime, Cast, Contship Con- tainerlines, Lykes Lines and TMM Lines; Hanjin; Hyundai; K. Line; Mitsui OSK Lines; Senator Lines; Yang Ming; and Zim Israel Navigation Co. •Negotiations are currently underway with other transportation providers that also may join as founding partners. "This will fundamentally challenge the process of getting goods around the world," the carriers said. "Our common objective is to leverage this Internet plat- form and drive superior customer ser- vice and lower transactions costs for both customers and providers. This is truly realizing the promise of the Inter- net."
