What is Container Tracking
Container tracking involves monitoring the real-time location and status of shipping containers as they move through the supply chain, from origin to destination. Key checkpoints, such as gate movements, loading onto vessels, departures, arrivals, and unloading, are recorded and relayed to a centralized platform. This information is crucial for anticipating and mitigating disruptions caused by unpredictable events, such as strikes, congestion, or adverse weather conditions, which can lead to shipping delays and increased costs.
Interest of Container Tracking:Container tracking is essential for gaining real-time insights into the global location of goods, enabling proactive decision-making, and ensuring efficient supply chain management.
Benefits of Container Tracking:Real-time tracking systems offer time savings, cost reduction, enhanced client relationships, loss prevention, and a positive return on investment (ROI) by optimizing production and improving efficiency.
Trends in Container Tracking:Current trends include the adoption of technologies like AIS, Container Tracking Devices (CTDs), and Smart Containers, leveraging GPS, satellite, and IoT capabilities for detailed and secure information, enhancing overall container tracking capabilities.
