Track&Trace of containers
Container tracking: Port of Rotterdam Authority presents new solution
The Port of Rotterdam Authority recently introduced the "Boxinsider" app. This enables shippers and freight forwarders to see where their containers are at any time.
"When I order a book online, I can see almost 'live' where my order is," explains Allard Castelein, Director General of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. "With Boxinsider, we are now also providing such a solution for containers. Thanks to the development of digital solutions, we are making our port even more efficient, safer and more reliable. Solutions such as Boxinsider are good examples of this and are in line with our ambition to be the smartest port in the world."
App to replace manual procedure
Currently, shippers, freight forwarders and other users usually collect information about their containers manually on various websites. This is time-consuming and error-prone. Boxinsider aims to put an end to this approach. Based on status information from container ships as well as inland and deep-sea terminals, containers can be tracked with regard to expected and actual arrival and departure times of ships as well as unloading and departure. Users are warned in the event of delays or disruptions. Boxinsider works as a stand-alone app, but can also be integrated into existing systems via a connection.
