隨著資訊科技快速變遷，以及海運貿易市場競爭日益加劇，海運航商必須建置一個分散式、可共享、具標準化、安全機制的線上交易平台，才能提供客戶更好的服務品質。本研究擬以區塊鏈技術為基礎，設計和建置一個系統架構，提供海運生態鏈上的所有參與夥伴，共享交易資訊。區塊鏈架構下所提出之分散式帳本處理模式，是一套共享、可複製的授權帳本，不需依賴第三方，可以在各自的分散式節點進行交易資訊之儲存、驗證、與傳遞作業。本研究擬以臺灣海運貿易作業流程為例，規劃與建置區域型海運區塊鏈雛型系統，提供可信賴性、加密安全性、不可竄改性、可追蹤性、智能合約等區塊鏈技術之特色，期能藉由雛型系統之設計與建置，瞭解臺灣海運產業導入區塊鏈技術的可行性與實用性。

Rapid technological change, as well as shifting patterns of international trade and competition, it is necessary for shipping companies to develop distributed, sharing, standardized and secured online platforms to achieve a higher level of maritime services. This study focuses on designing and implementing a system framework for sharing information and services among the parties within the maritime ecosystem, and suggesting blockchain as the supporting technology for realizing the proposed framework. In order to emphasize the importance of blockchain in Taiwan maritime industry, this study proposes a regional maritime blockchain prototype system which facilitates valid and effective measurement of performance of maritime trade processes. The prototype system is afforded by key characteristics of blockchain, such as reliability, security, reliability, transparency, immutability and smart contracts.
