Ericsson and Net Feasa are collaborating to introduce a new solution designed to give shipowners and managers immediate access to crucial data from their vessels and containers. This system utilizes advanced onboard 4G and 5G network infrastructure, combined with agentic AI technologies, to facilitate live monitoring and management of cargo across international shipping operations. The goal is to address the long-standing industry need for more precise and timely oversight of global fleets.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this development could significantly improve supply chain visibility. Real-time access to vessel and container data means better predictability for estimated times of arrival (ETAs), enhanced ability to track cargo movements, and potentially faster responses to disruptions. This improved data flow could lead to more efficient planning, reduced demurrage and detention costs, and better inventory management for shippers.
