Every container owner, importer, exporter or freight forwarder needs to track their sea freight shipment. Tracking shipments help the logistics manager to know about the prior status of the containers, the exact location on the ocean, and the estimated time of departure and arrival (ETD and ETA). Sea freight shipment tracking is time-consuming for every importer, exporter, freight forwarder and container owner.
