The partnership between Revo Insurance, Accudire, and Assilog enabled the launch of the first Italian freight transport insured through the e-CMR. The operation was carried out in collaboration with a major international luxury eyewear company and Ormesani, a logistics and shipping company with over 40 years of experience. The use of blockchain technology ensured data integrity and security while drastically reducing handling times, marking a groundbreaking advancement for the entire sector.
This pilot shipment involved a road transport from a warehouse in Padua to Vienna. The fully digital management, from the generation of the consignment note to the real-time issuance of the insurance certificate, was made possible by the interoperability between Accudire and Revo’s blockchain-based platforms. This synergy significantly reduced the time required for policy issuance compared to traditional methods.
According to Gabriele Galanti, Head of Marine at Revo Insurance, this type of policy allows for a significant reduction in operational costs for all parties involved, while speeding up processes. Accudire’s CEO, Abramo Vincenzi, highlighted the importance of this innovation for the logistics sector: "The pilot shipment represents a crucial step toward interoperability and the digitalization of the logistics and insurance supply chain. This is the first case in Italy and Europe of a fully real-time document exchange, leveraging interconnected digital platforms based on blockchain. This innovation offers a tremendous opportunity for the logistics sector, improving security and profitability in transport operations."
The project stems from the recent European and Italian regulatory framework, particularly EU Regulation 2020/1056 and Italian Law No. 37/2024. As of September 26, 2024, the Additional Protocol to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road will officially come into effect in Italy.
