Evergreen Line has chosen ORBCOMM’s advanced smart container solution to upgrade its dry container fleet, marking a significant step in the digital transformation of maritime logistics.
According to Sameer Agrawal, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer, the move “signals a broader shift in the maritime industry where dry containers are rapidly evolving from static assets into smart, connected, intelligent units.” ORBCOMM, which has already enabled more than one million smart containers globally, will now extend its technology to Evergreen’s fleet.
The system enhances cargo visibility, protection, and reliability, offering advanced event alerts for door openings, temperature deviations, shock detection, and real-time location tracking. These capabilities are designed to improve container security, crew safety, and overall operational efficiency.
Agrawal added that smart intermodal containers are becoming the new industry standard, reflecting the growing demand for real-time data and operational transparency.
Evergreen’s rollout will leverage ORBCOMM’s second-generation smart container technology, featuring improved sensors for security and cargo integrity, longer device lifespan, and higher reliability—delivering reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and increased return on investment (ROI).
