ORBCOMM gets landing rights in China

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.

Rochelle Park (NJ)-based ORBCOMM Inc, which is one of the leading innovators in the development of IoT technology for the supply chain and equipment asset management businesses, has launched a new solar-powered asset tracking device.

Carrier will re-sell IoT On Vessel Networks from Net Feasa to provide onboard connectivity for smart reefer and dry containers.

IDENTEC SOLUTIONS has upgraded its Terminal Tracker hardware with an improved shock sensor developed in close cooperation with Konecranes.

Italian start-up ARMS Srl – a joint venture of Smart Shipping Solutions Srl, SCAME SPA and AGAVE Srl – is continuing to develop the automated reefer power and data connection system that was first tested at La Spezia Container Terminal in 2021.

US-based Refrigerated Transport Electronics (RTE) continues to add functionality to its GRASP site-based reefer container monitoring system for container terminal operators.
