Remote Container Management enables better cargo care
Maersk has invested in technology and hardware which enables a remote flow of data from our reefer containers. The system is called Remote Container Management and entails transmitting devices installed on all of our modern containers as well as network installations onboard all our vessels.
Our operations teams have eyes your container from pickup through to delivery using the Remote Container Management alarm system. If problems do arise, they are quickly identified and rectified. This applies to all reefer shipments as part of our standard service.
We also identify recurring errors or faulty components and carry out preventive maintenance to minimise the risk of unscheduled repairs.

Complete transparency during the entire journey
