Specifics of Marine Container Monitoring

The marine container tracking service is suitable for shipping lines, freight forwarding, transport, leasing, and logistics companies, as well as renters of marine containers of various types: 20ft, 40ft, 45ft, High Cube, Open Top, and Flat Rack.

The system checks the container’s location and also displays:

transportation status (loading, unloading, movement, in transit, at terminal, leased, under repair);
idle time and estimated delivery dates;
events related to door openings, impacts, tilting, or unauthorized access.

In the event of route changes, unscheduled stops, unauthorized door openings, and other predefined events, the container monitoring system initiates alerts to all parties interested in the cargo delivery. Depending on the monitoring software settings, users can receive notifications via email, SMS, or a mobile application.

In addition to monitoring dry containers, GCS offers a monitoring service for reefer containers. Within this service, temperature conditions, humidity, and other indicators are also monitored.
