GERMANY's major ocean carrier Hapag-Lloyd announced that its entire container fleet will be equipped with real-time tracking devices.
The line said the standard containers in its 3 million TEU fleet will be equipped with the technology, following on from the 2019 rollout for its reefer containers, reports Colchester's Seatrade Maritime News.
The trackers will transmit real-time GPS location data, temperature information and report any sudden shocks to the container. The trackers are ATEX Zone 2 explosion proof, and further sensors can be added in the future by Bluetooth, said Hapag-Lloyd.
TradeTech partner Nexxiot AG will provide devices from summer, and ORBCOMM will supply devices from later in the year.
'We firmly believe that our real-time tracking approach will not only be beneficial for our customers but be a game changer for the entire container shipping industry', said Maximilian Rothkopf, COO of Hapag-Lloyd.
Hapag-Lloyd LIVE, the line's monitoring technology, will be rolled out to standard customers at some time in 2023. The service is already available to reefer customers on a two-tier model, allowing access to data including Temperature Set Point, Actual Supply Air, Actual Retun Air, GPS Location, Track and Trace Events, Ambient Temperature, Power on/off and Relative Humidity.
