NVOCCs (Non vessel operating common carrier) entrust their cargo shipments to third party shipping line operators. This obviously poses a great risk for the NVOCC since they have no control over the freight containers once these have been loaded aboard shipping vessels and start their voyage. They are responsible for these cargo containers throughout transport, and should an accident happen as a result of inadequate shipping vessel choice, they remain largely accountable.
NVOCCs are not the only ones facing this dilemma. Logistics companies and shipping vessel operators as well need to be constantly updated about their cargo shipments.
For this reason, a container tracking software will be of great use. This is usually included in shipping solutions software suites which are provided by shipping software companies. This will enable shipping liner operators, logistics companies and NVOCCs to monitor the transportation of any cargo while onboard shipping vessels. In the event of a disaster such as unprecedented extreme weather or when a ship runs aground, the shipping crew can easily and immediately alert the cargo owners about the status of their cargo. This is also helpful when freight containers accidentally fall overboard. The shipping crew will be able to identify which cargoes fall overboard and inform the owners accordingly.
A container tracking software can be integrated into a company's existing NVOCC software or liner agency software for easy access. This is just one of the many software solutions available to shipping lines and should be a standard of good service globally.
