Once more than a few miles away from the coastline, vessels struggle to communicate via regular terrestrial based methods. Satellite based communication is key for the shipping and marine industries and GTC’s tracking solutions can be used to locate cargo, containers or vessels.
The ability to track high-value assets around the globe allows you to have an exact timescale for when they will arrive at their destination and this in turn can improve customer service levels.
GTC can custom build customer specific tracking and monitoring devices for the shipping and maritime industries. Our devices can be attached to vessels or containers to provide a variety of status reports including the following:
- Automatic updates on vessel or container position, location and speed
- Alerts on opening and closing of container doors
- Changing levels of radiation or water intake inside the container
- Movement inside the container - e.g. human stowaways inside a sealed container
- Emergency alerts on remotely moored vessels e.g. movement or water intake
