Maritime goods from the shipper to the consignee will go through cumbersome trade procedures. The traditional paper documents used in this process will cause some damage to the environment. Therefore, it is proposed to introduce blockchain technology in the circulation of shipping documents, and realize paperless customer service by using its characteristics of non-tamperability traceability and trust. This paper first reviews the literature on blockchain in the shipping industry, and then analyses the risks in the circulation of shipping documents and the efficiency of document circulation. Then it puts forward the shipping document circulation system architecture based on alliance block chain, and finally gives policy suggestions.
