Maritime agencies, governments and institutions need reliable knowledge about what really happens at sea. The reason is to implement their effective polices. Evidence-based information is, for example, required to successfully manage the marine environment. In general, there is a growing demand for an accurate picture of maritime activities. Port operators want to know the location of ships which will arrive from other parts of the world, so that they can better plan their operations. Customs authorities want to know the location of ships carrying their cargo freight. EU Member States are the main stakeholders. They need to ensure that cargo and any other type ships in and around EU waters satisfy environmental and safety requirements.
Tracking cargo ships
Cargo ship tracking is the ability to trace goods, their containers, and their conveyances from the point of origin to their destination. Tracking is increasingly associated with information transfer using smarter tools such as AIS data.
Tracking Technologies can be used as a solution for tracking, tracing, messaging and security operating worldwide, 365 days-a-year. It provides seamless worldwide coverage for the remote tracking of container ships, whether in port or on passage in any ocean.
With improving safety at sea and increasing operational productivity becoming significant challenges in the maritime industry, ship tracking & monitoring proves to be instrument for ship owners and customers to track their cargo ships and cargo freight. Ship owners tracking the vessel or the customer tracking the cargo freight brings numerous benefits across asset management, logistics planning and security monitoring to shipping lines, barge and fleet operators, and search & rescue organizations, as well as to harbour authorities, charter companies and individual owners.
