Dry container tracking digitalized for intelligent visibility.
The CT 1000 provides visibility and traceability for shipping lines and their customers so they can turn data into decisions about their maritime operations. It allows shippers to estimate arrival times, identify issues and quickly deploy corrective measures to mitigate delays. Shippers and operators can use the CT 1000 to optimize operations, enhance cargo security and cut costs by identifying data gaps in the supply chain.

Built for uninterrupted visibility
Built and certified for the maritime environment
The CT 1000 is a cellular, solar-powered device designed to last the life of the container. With over-the-air updates and a rugged enclosure that withstands shock, vibration, dust and water, the CT 1000 requires minimal upkeep and can handle temperatures ranging from -20°C to 70°C.
Easy, fast install
Supported by our Field Service Tool app, the CT 1000 is optimized for narrow container corrugations and can be installed in as little as one minute using two rivets.
Smart monitoring and dynamic reporting
Monitor cargo requirements through ambient temperature alerts to assess in-transit damage and help safeguard against insurance claims. Dynamic reporting allows users to configure reporting intervals based on whether the container is in motion or stationary.
