Tracking and monitoring the precise location and condition of container goods is an accepted norm during its land based transportation process. But tracking goods at sea is not – a fact driven more by technological constraint than market demand.

Enabling standard GSM communications on merchant vessels opens the door for a new dimension in low cost asset tracking. Altobridge’s award winning GSM based technology means vital data such as geographic co-ordinates, e-Seal tampering and container temperature fluctuations can be reported in real time to the ship’s master, to a land based operations centre or to both simultaneously.

It means for example, that temperature fluctuations within refrigerated containers can be immediately flagged and the issue immediately resolved. Our solution eliminates this risk of damaged goods, thereby saving the asset, increasing customer satisfaction while reducing insurance claims and insurance premiums in the process.

Business research consultancy leader, Frost & Sullivan awarded its 2006 Technology Innovation Award in the area of container security to Altobridge. The solution was described as the most innovative communications technology that enabled continuous, effective communications between land, ports and seagoing vessels
