(28 February 2025 – Global) In response to the growing challenges of supply chain resilience, security and illicit trade, the “Smart Container Alliance” is being launched to drive the adoption of cutting-edge smart container technology.
The founding members of the group consisting of ARVIEM, Globe Tracker, ORBCOMM, Hoopo, Traxens, and Nexxiot reports its goal is to unite industry leaders in a collective effort to enhance cargo traceability, fortify maritime trade, and support global enforcement agencies in the fight against criminal networks.
Geopolitical instability and climate-related disruptions are posing increasing risks to global trade. Cargo theft, smuggling, and drug cartels have become an increasing focus of the authorities around the globe. As a result, the Alliance says shipping companies must ensure the highest levels of security and efficiency.
“Smart Cargo and Container Telematics are the foundation for the 21st Century Supply Chain with revolutionary new solutions for our society, authorities, governments, and businesses to structurally reduce illicit trade, cargo contamination, cargo waste, theft and supply chain carbon footprint while simultaneously enhance product authentication, on-time delivery commitments, asset productivity and cargo integrity and quality,” said ARVIEM CEO Charles Vincent.
As a leading technology company, ARVIEM focuses on real-time end-to-end cargo monitoring services, and is one of the founders of the Alliance.
