Zhuhai Port Holdings Group businesses span across the development, construction, management and operation of ports, land and supporting facilities. Insurwave Limited launched Insurwave, the world’s first marine insurance blockchain platform for commercial use, in May 2018. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) focuses on the link between marine insurance blockchain technology and port logistics, identifying a strategic cooperation in the marine economy of the Greater Bay Area, which can lead to more efficient and effective global trade conditions.

Shaun Crawford, EY Global Vice Chair for Industry, says: 
“Combining the knowledge from Insurwave with Zhuhai Port Holdings’ experience in port logistics, we’re pleased to establish a joint initiative for identifying blockchain’s applications in cross-border financial services, logistics and trade. Insurwave was developed a year ago to transform how businesses manage risk across their organization and how they work with brokers and (re)insurers. Our hope is this is another step in the right direction and will have the same impact on international trade and port logistics. This agreement comes at a great time and we look forward to supporting the Greater Bay Area plan and the Belt and Road initiative.”

Botao Liu, Strategic Development Center General Manager of Zhuhai Port Holdings Group, says: 
“Both parties have a common interest and by leveraging our core strengths we’re able to seize the opportunities of the Belt and Road initiative, the opening of the Hong-Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Greater Bay Area to promote the connection between marine insurance blockchain technology and global port logistics.”
