Container monitoring is revolutionizing the dry container space. While it has been in use for refrigerated units for years, it is now ready for mass implementation in dry container tracking. The market is ready, the price is right, and the technology is ripe for the taking.
Implementing dry container tracking can address various chronic issues in shipping lines, such as cargo security, asset underutilization, and container misplacement. It also allows for comprehensive maritime asset visibility and management across road, rail, and sea.
Strengthening sustainability through data
To reduce carbon emissions, container telematics can identify operational weaknesses and inefficiencies that lead to fuel waste. Decreasing unnecessary empty container movements can significantly lower carbon emissions, making operations more sustainable.
By collecting IoT data, cargo owners can calculate their total carbon emissions for each journey, enabling them to set benchmarks and work towards decarbonization targets.
The power of ORBCOMM dry container monitoring
Hapag-Lloyd has set the new standard for container shipping by deploying ORBCOMM’s dry container telematics solution for their fleet. This solution, featuring CT 1000 dry container technology, cellular connectivity, and a comprehensive platform, provides end-to-end visibility over dry marine containers.
The solar-powered CT 1000 device monitors key cargo parameters such as GPS, ambient temperature, and door sensors, ensuring customer satisfaction and cargo security. It also includes a mobile app to expedite installation times.
Intelligence for everyone
Using data from the dry container monitoring solution, shipping lines can better estimate delivery times, providing unprecedented visibility and transparency for shippers.
ORBCOMM’s dry container tracking solution also allows shipping lines to optimize their own processes, improving logistical visibility and productivity. Wireless sensors, such as door sensors, further enhance its capabilities.
All-in-one container management
Before the creation of the dry container monitoring solution, shipping line customers had to piece together information from different sources about their shipments.
