Hapag-Lloyd introduces “Live Position”, its pioneering dry container tracking product, enhancing logistics with IoT technology globally.

Improvements to asset tracking technology are ushering in lower deployment costs, increased accessibility, and unique use cases. ORBCOMM, a pioneer in IoT technology with over 30 years of experience, is leading the charge with their cost-effective dry trailer and container solution.

Hapag-Lloyd, which is leading the liner shipping industry when it comes to fitting smart devices to its dry freight containers, is pressing ahead with its installation programme. It expects the whole of its 1.6M TEU owned fleet to be smart early in 2024. Already more than 80% of its reefer containers are fitted with devices that in addition to tracking the container’s position, monitor temperature and humidity levels inside the equipment.
