ORBCOMM launches PT 6000

Zim Integrated Shipping Services is the latest operator to announce a deal to fit tracking devices to its fleet of dry freight containers.

Hapag-Lloyd, which is leading the liner shipping industry when it comes to fitting smart devices to its dry freight containers, has announced that the majority of its fleet will be smart by the beginning of next year.

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.

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.
