Tracking System

We support a total of 78 shipping lines and 12 leasing companies. This is a great achievement because our platform is one of the few that can support these many shipping lines.

This week, we’ve made improvements to the way we work with shipping lines such as Hyundai, Wan Hai, OOCL, Yang Ming, Korea Marine Transport (KMTC), Swire Shipping, COSCO, Textainer, Evergreen, ZIM, China United Lines.

We are also working to improve the stability of the Tracking System API.




Logistics Explorer

With the global logistics services strategy and the universal Marketplace application, which synchronizes tariffs from shipping lines, we’re working on the development of a new Logistics Explorer: 

  • A more concise interface 
  • Maps that are conveniently grouped, along with rate details 
  • The possibility to choose several types of containers in one booking 
  • The ability to conveniently filter by lines and service components 




Updated design for the Incoterms page
