Additional services Shipping Containers

Shipping containers have become essential in international transportation. To ensure the safety and speed of cargo transportation, additional services like GPS tracking, alarms, and sensors have become increasingly popular. 

In this article, we will take a closer look at how these additional services facilitate efficient cargo transport by sea.

GPS tracking of shipping containers

One of the most popular additional services offered in the transportation industry is GPS tracking. GPS systems integrated into shipping containers allow for tracking of cargo, routes, and vessel speed. 

This enables cargo owners to track the movement of their products and adjust delivery times according to changes in vessel movements. Real-time tracking services are also available, allowing clients to track their containers in real-time. This is particularly useful for sensitive goods that require special attention during transport.

Cargo Protection with Alarms and Sensors

Alarms and sensors are important additional services offered for shipping containers. Built-in sensors in containers can detect any changes in temperature, humidity, vibrations, and other conditions that could affect the cargo. Temperature sensors are particularly useful for transporting sensitive goods that require temperature control, such as medicine, chemical products, and food. Humidity sensors are important for transporting sensitive goods such as paper, clothing, and other types of goods that are easily damaged due to humidity.

Vibration and impact sensors can help detect any irregularities during transport, which is very useful for sensitive products. If there is any impact or vibration that could affect the cargo, the sensor will be activated, and the cargo owner will be notified of the potential problem. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can also help detect fires in the container. In case the smoke or carbon monoxide sensor is activated, the authorities will be notified, and appropriate measures will be taken.

Beside GPS tracking and sensors, alarms are another useful service that helps protect cargo in shipping containers. In case of unauthorized entry into the container, an alarm will be activated, and the authorities will be notified. This helps prevent cargo theft and container damage.

These additional services help ensure the safe transport of cargo across the sea while helping cargo owners have complete control over their products during transport. Since shipping containers are used to transport different types of products, from sensitive goods to hazardous materials, it is important to have additional services that will ensure the safety and integrity of the cargo.
