CONTAINER and cargo security in the maritime industry are evolving rapidly in response to security threats, reports the UK's Seatrade Maritime News.

Traditional security measures are being supplemented with advanced telematics integrated with wireless sensors.These IoT technologies enable real-time monitoring of container integrity, detecting unauthorised access or tampering and triggering immediate alerts to mitigate security risks. Historical telematics data empowers shipping lines to identify security patterns, anticipate criminal activities, and make informed decisions to safeguard shipments.By sharing security incident data with law enforcement agencies, telematics solutions contribute to global efforts to combat illicit activities and secure the global supply chain. This digital transformation heralds a new era of container security, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient cargo transportation in the 21st century.
