These AIS transponders send a vessel’s location (latitude and longitude information) to AIS base stations via GPS satellites. In the year 2000, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) made it mandatory that all vessels with a gross tonnage of 300 tons or more, require an AIS transponder. Tracking Containers With AIS Dataīy far the most common way to track shipping containers is by using a carrier’s website or container tracking service providers that receive vessel data through a vessel’s Automatic Identification System (AIS). Let’s explore them in a little more detail. The two most common ways to track shipping containers is through vessel data via AIS or container data sent through container tracking devices. Here’s an overview of the content that we will cover: In this article, we’ll be exploring the topic of container tracking by explaining how this works, providing a list of common container tracking statuses, how and where to track containers, as well as the benefits and limitations of container tracking. You can track a container through vessel data provided by an Automatic Identification System (AIS) or through Container Tracking Devices (CTDs) that are installed on shipping containers at the time of departure. There are two main ways to track a shipping container. One of the most common ways to enable visibility is through container tracking.Ĭontainer tracking is the ability to locate a shipping container’s position and track other relevant types of shipping information through references such as a bill of lading, container or booking number. There is an increasing demand for supply chain visibility, to allow for efficient shipment processing and planning. In today’s logistics environment, supply chains have become increasingly complex and dynamic.
