Hapag-Lloyd will equip its entire container fleet with real-time tracking devices. After successfully introducing real-time monitoring for its reefer container fleet in 2019 with the IoT product Hapag-Lloyd LIVE, the company will start to install newly developed devices to all standard containers of its fleet.
Hapag-Lloyd LIVE will become available for customers of its standard containers during 2023. The devices will be able to transmit data on a real-time basis from each container, making the supply chain more transparent and efficient.

They can also supply location data based on GPS, measure temperature and monitor any sudden shocks to the container. In the future, additional sensors could be added through Bluetooth.
To ensure safety for crews, cargo, and vessels the devices are designed and certified to the ATEX Zone 2 explosion proof standard.
Going forward, we will be able to provide all our customers with real-time track and trace data, giving them full visibility of any container movement worldwide. We will be able to detect delays earlier, inform impacted customers automatically and initiate counteractions at an early stage
says Maximilian Rothkopf, COO of Hapag-Lloyd.
The shipping container monitoring device integrates energy harvesting technology and low-power consumption techniques to ensure ultra-long lifetimes with high-frequency data sending.
It is our vision to build the world’s smartest container fleet and to provide valuable information to our customers at the frequency they need
added Olaf Habert, Director Container Applications at Hapag-Lloyd.
