Orbcomm announced that Evergreen Line has chosen its smart container technology to equip its fleet.
“This move marks a broader shift in the maritime industry, where dry containers are rapidly evolving from static assets to smart, connected, and intelligent units. Orbcomm is the only company in the world that has enabled more than one million smart containers to date. We are honored that Evergreen has trusted us to also deploy smart dry containers in its fleet,” stated Sameer Agrawal, Chief Executive Officer of Orbcomm.
Orbcomm’s solutions offer greater value to its customers through improved cargo visibility, protection, and reliability. The implementation provides advanced event alerts, including door openings, temperature deviations, impact detection, and comprehensive location reports.
“Smart intermodal containers are no longer experimental; they are becoming the new standard. Deployments are transcending visibility and encompassing cargo protection and container security. This evolution reflects the industry’s growing demand for real-time data, increased cargo protection, and operational transparency across the global supply chain,” Agrawal continued.
The new deployments will leverage Orbcomm’s second-generation smart container technology, which adds new sensors for cargo security and integrity, while continuing to enable longer sea voyages, years of longer device lifespan, and the highest device reliability, delivering the lowest TCO and the highest ROI to shipping lines.
