MSC is partnering with TRAXENS introducing smart container solutions, overcoming everyday barriers concerning non-visibility of cargo and presenting efficiency, safety and predictability.
Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) is collaborating with TRAXENS using its IoT solutions. This partnership pursues to improve supply chain management for shippers by making the cargo flow visible. In that way, door-to-door cargo flow will be able to track adding efficiency, safety and predictability.

However, lack of real-time and end-to-end visibility is a crucial problem in today’s global supply chains. Until now, importers or exporters highlighted the inefficiency of the non-visibility over the whole trip.
The pros of smart containers resulting from this partnership, is that the two companies will make containers:
- Smart, connected objects;
- Easy-to-collect and communicate real data concerning their state and movement throughout the journey;
- Secure cargo including temperature, humidity level, shocks and vibrations, door opening and closing;
- Easy to manage concerning delays in their transportation.
MSC aims to equip 50.000 dry cargo containers in the near future in order to agree with the demands from shippers for TRAXENS solutions. The use of smart containers will bring plenty of gains in efficiency, service, security and safety along the entire supply chain.
Diego Aponte, President and CEO of MSC Group
MSC believes that the real-time tracking of containers is the future of the shipping industry. While shipping lines should of course compete on service, we will achieve better results for our customers by working in a more harmonised way on technology and innovation. Smart containers are a perfect example of where we can cooperate according to industry standards to make our services truly comprehensive and TRAXENS is the top innovator in this area.
