[0041] Step 7: Goods receipt: the goods arrive at the destination, the delivery information is matched with the consignee, and the consignee confirms receipt;

[0042] Step 8: Transportation evaluation. The consignee receives the cargo information and sends it to the consignor through the cargo tracking and monitoring APP. The consignee and the consignor evaluate the cargo transportation, which is an evaluation feedback on the ship cargo transportation. According to the evaluation feedback of the ship cargo transportation, the ship cargo transportation problems are processed and optimized, thereby improving the quality of ship cargo transportation and ensuring the benefits of ship cargo transportation.

[0043] Furthermore, in step one, a cargo tracking and monitoring APP is established to locate cargo in real time based on the GPS positioning system, and an Internet system is used for real-time user communication and inquiry of cargo transportation information. The cargo tracking and monitoring APP includes but is not limited to registering and establishing an account, uploading and sending cargo information, querying cargo transportation information, voice and video communication functions, cargo transportation evaluation functions, third-party currency transaction functions, receiving functions, compensation functions and evaluation functions. Therefore, the cargo tracking and monitoring APP can improve the convenience of sending cargo by ship cargo transportation, and facilitate subsequent payment and claims operations.

[0044] Furthermore, the transport participants in step 2 include but are not limited to shippers, receiving staff, consignees, delivery staff and terminal maintenance personnel. The account information corresponds to the transport cargo information one-to-one, so that the shipper and consignee can only query and send the corresponding cargo information, thereby avoiding the situation where non-related cargo personnel inquire about the cargo, thereby protecting the privacy and security of customer information, and avoiding the leakage of cargo transportation information, which may lead to the receipt of goods by illegal personnel.

[0045] Furthermore, the cargo information uploaded in step three includes but is not limited to the weight and volume of the cargo, whether it is made of fragile material, whether it is flammable and explosive, whether it is waterproof, cargo video pictures and cargo delivery time requirements, so that according to the cargo information uploaded by the consignor, the corresponding transportation and storage methods can be arranged according to the cargo information to reduce the possibility of damage to the cargo during transportation, thereby improving user praise, and evaluating whether the cargo transportation time requirements can be met based on the transportation plan, and dividing the charging levels according to the cargo transportation time requirements, the charging levels include expedited ship delivery level, ordinary delivery level and unlimited time delivery level, and the charges for expedited ship delivery level, ordinary delivery level and unlimited time delivery level are reduced in turn, and the unlimited time delivery level is within the longest range specified for ship transportation of cargo.

[0046] Furthermore, in step 4, the cargo receiving identification code is established by printing the identification code according to the cargo information, and the cargo information is recorded by the identification code to prevent confusion in cargo transportation. Printing the identification code according to the cargo information can not only facilitate the consignor to query the cargo information, but also improve the convenience and accuracy of the subsequent cargo delivery, and confirm the payment method with the consignor, and evaluate the cargo ship transportation price in combination with the cargo volume, weight and charging level. The evaluated price is sent to the consignee through the cargo tracking and monitoring APP.
