OceanTrack
Shipping intelligence for cargo owners and forwarders: track vessels and containers in real time, work from ETAs that update as conditions change, and catch congestion, rollovers, and detention exposure before they turn into cost.

Ocean freight runs on stale information. A booking confirmation gives a date, the vessel then spends weeks at sea, and the next reliable update often arrives when the box is already accruing charges at the destination port. OceanTrack closes that gap by combining vessel position data with carrier and port milestones into one live picture per shipment — and, crucially, by turning it into a prediction rather than a status. When the ETA moves, the people who need to move with it are told, while there is still time to re-plan.
What the Product Does
Live vessel and container tracking
Map-based tracking of vessels and the containers on them, with position, speed, heading, and current voyage leg refreshed continuously.
Predictive ETAs
Arrival estimates that account for the vessel’s actual progress and port conditions rather than the original schedule, with the change history kept so you can see when the date moved and why.
Milestone timeline and documents
Gate-in, loaded, departed, transhipped, discharged, gate-out — each milestone timestamped on one timeline, with bills of lading and customs paperwork attached to the shipment.
Exception and risk alerts
Push and email alerts for delays, port congestion, missed connections, and rolled cargo, routed to the people who own that lane rather than broadcast to everyone.
Demurrage and detention control
Free-time countdowns per container with escalating warnings as the deadline approaches, so charges are avoided instead of explained afterwards.
Lane and carrier analytics
Transit-time reliability, schedule adherence, and dwell time compared across carriers and lanes to inform the next round of contracts.
Who Uses It, and How
Cargo owner
- See every shipment in one list with a trustworthy arrival date.
- Get told when an ETA slips, early enough to re-plan.
- Track free time and avoid detention charges.
Operations team
- Monitor the whole book of business on one map.
- Triage exceptions by severity rather than chasing carrier portals.
- Create and amend bookings from the field, not just the desk.
Supply chain leadership
- Compare carrier and lane reliability on real transit data.
- Quantify where delay cost is actually being incurred.
- Take contract decisions from evidence rather than anecdote.
Why It Matters
Early warning converts a delay from a cost event into a planning decision.
Free-time countdowns attack demurrage and detention, the most avoidable line in ocean freight.
One live picture removes the daily round of carrier-portal checking.
Reliability data turns carrier negotiations into an evidence-based exercise.
