Do containers have built-in trackers?

Standard containers don't include location devices. Ctrack's device fits to any container, providing status data and real-time position throughout the journey. Compatible with major shipping lines including Maersk and MSC.

How often does Ctrack update my container's position?

Ctrack trackers provide current position data every few minutes, giving reliable insight into container location and status. The system delivers accurate tracking data you can rely on to plan freight operations.

Can I track multiple containers at once?

Yes. The Crystal platform monitors your entire container fleet from a single dashboard. Track containers by container number, shipment reference, or booking, and receive a notification when any container changes status.

Simplify Your Container Tracking System

Most shipping lines offer an online tracking and tracing system enabling containers to be tracked throughout ocean transit. Once cargo moves inland from the dock, that visibility disappears. Manual container tracking means phone calls to carriers and missed arrival windows.

Ctrack's container tracking system attaches Ctrack devices directly to containers. Instantly track containers from dock to delivery. Get automatic alerts on movement and arrival. The container tracking tool connects to your logistics platform via API, making it easy to eliminate manual chase-ups and improve data accuracy.

Track by container number, booking reference, or B/L number (bill of lading).
