Vessel Tracking

Roro is an acronym for Roll-on/roll-off. These vessels are intended to carry all kinds of wheeled cargo, which are loaded in and out on their own wheels.

Safety and efficiency are essential for the sea transportation industry. In this regard, some ships’ categories must be equipped with an AIS.

The increase in global trade results in intense sea shipping activity. With hundreds of ships plying the seas every day, multiple challenges arise in various areas: security, communication, visibility of the fleet and the cargo, and effective planning of port operations.

In today’s highly digitalized maritime industry, a tracking system is one of the main technologies installed on cargo ships, passenger carriers, fishing boats, and all types of vessels.

For the maritime industry, digitalization has become mandatory to tackle the challenges of the 21st century. Building fully autonomous vessels is one of the goals set, and several countries work on such projects.

Digital technologies are driving transformation in all economic sectors. The concept of “smart shipping” has emerged with the use of digital tools for fleet management, navigation, port operations… Smart vessels are part of smart shipping.

The world of logistics offers other solutions than cargo transportation, such as the RoRo ships, which are specific to maritime transport. RoRo is the acronym for the expression “Roll-on, Roll-off” and it describes the way a vessel carries wheeled cargo.

Trade routes are increasing, and ports are busier and expanding. Ensuring that the world’s trade is delivered smoothly and on time is crucial; not forgetting the critical importance of navigating safe routes for passengers and crew.
