Container Tracking Platform

What is Container Tracking?

Container tracking is the process of monitoring and recording every step of a container’s journey using trackers, which provide real-time updates on the location and condition of the cargo.

What counts as one shipment credit?

For example, tracking 1 container number during 1 month will discount 1 shipment from your plan. If you search for the same container number the following month, another shipment will be charged. Tracking a Bill of Lading using the Bill of Lading number, even if it references several containers, will count as 1 shipment.

If you track the same container using a Booking number and/or a Bill of Lading number that references it AND you also track it directly with its container number, you will be billed for each Shipment number you use (Booking + Bill of Ladding + Container)

Notes :

The free plan is limited to 3 shipments.

What are the benefits of container tracking?

The benefits of container tracking include enhanced security and risk management, cost reduction, time-saving, and maximizing ROI among others.

How does container tracking help reduce costs?

Container tracking helps reduce costs by providing real-time updates on the location of containers, which helps to avoid demurrage, detention, and port storage charges that are applied when a defined time period has been exceeded.

By being notified of any delays or advances during transit, companies can take steps to limit costs.

What are the methods used to trace your shipment?

Tracing of shipments has been made possible by the use of automatic identification systems (AIS), container tracking devices (CTDs), and smart containers. AIS tracking is used for large international container vessels, while CTDs and smart containers offer more detailed information and can be used on any vessel.

How does container tracking improve customer service?

Container tracking improves customer service by enabling companies to communicate information related to the location and status of their shipment to their clients. This helps to enhance customer satisfaction by providing visibility and transparency throughout the supply chain.

How can effective management of container transport challenges be achieved?

Effective management of container transport challenges involves various strategies, including container management, compliance with regulations, sustainability efforts, mitigating port congestion, cargo security measures, quality control, infrastructure improvements, and the use of emerging technologies like AI, IoT, Big Data, and Machine Learning for real-time tracking and data analysis.
