Quick Answer

Shipping lines and terminal operators deploy sensors aboard feeder vessels to continuously record temperature, humidity, and position for each reefer container.

Definition & Explanation

Shipping lines and terminal operators deploy sensors aboard feeder vessels to continuously record temperature, humidity, and position for each reefer container. Data is stored on board and transmitted ashore, where it serves as documentary evidence of compliance with agreed temperature parameters – for regulatory purposes or at the consignee's request. On short feeder routes with tight turnaround windows, this monitoring is especially critical: deviations must be caught early enough to prevent quality loss in perishable goods such as fruit, fish, or pharmaceuticals. Conventional data loggers, however, only make their records available for analysis after the voyage is complete – unlike real-time transmission systems, which allow for intervention while cargo is still in transit.
