THE global container fleet is embracing innovative technology at an increasing pace, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
Israeli flag carrier Zim recently made a big investment in tracking devices for its dry container fleet.
Having previously invested in tracking specialist Hoopo Systems, Zim has now partnered with Hoopo to deploy solar-powered devices across a substantial portion of its container fleet.
This move aims to provide clients comprehensive tracking information, including geofence alerts and notifications for open/close-door activities.
Hoopo CEO Ittay Hayut emphasised the importance of dry container visibility as both an operational necessity and a critical market demand.
Hoopo's mission is to engineer a tracking solution for the maritime industry that meets these requirements and offers the most reliable data with an extended lifespan matching that of a container.
According to a report from UK consultancy Drewry in July, the global telematics-enabled container equipment fleet is expected to grow six-fold in the next five years, constituting 30 per cent of global container inventories by 2027.
"As technological innovation lowers the cost of devices and enhances their value to both transport operators and BCOs, uptake is expected to hasten," said Drewry.
