The solution enhances cargo visibility, security, and operational efficiency across Evergreen’s worldwide network.

Smart technology for next-level container management

According to ORBCOMM, Evergreen will deploy its second-generation smart container system, featuring upgraded sensors that monitor cargo conditions, detect shocks, track location, and send real-time alerts for events such as unauthorised door openings or temperature deviations.

This real-time data transmission enables Evergreen and its customers to maintain end-to-end control and transparency throughout the transport process, minimising risks and improving supply chain reliability.

Lower costs, higher efficiency

The latest ORBCOMM solution is designed to extend device lifespan, improve reliability, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) while delivering a higher return on investment (ROI) for shipping lines.

This initiative represents one of the most extensive smart dry container deployments in the maritime sector to date.

Shipping industry enters the ‘smart container’ era

Sameer Agrawal, Chief Executive Officer of ORBCOMM, stated:

“ORBCOMM is the only company in the world that has enabled more than one million smart containers. We are honoured to be trusted by Evergreen to roll out smart dry containers for their fleet. This move signals a broader shift in the maritime industry, where dry containers are rapidly evolving from static assets into smart, connected, intelligent units.”

He added:

“Smart intermodal containers are no longer experimental — they are becoming the new standard. Deployments are moving beyond visibility to cargo protection and container security, reflecting growing demand for real-time data and operational transparency across the global supply chain.”

A new standard for global shipping

Evergreen’s adoption of ORBCOMM’s smart container technology underscores the company’s commitment to digital transformation and cargo security.

This collaboration sets a new benchmark for the container shipping industry as it moves toward a connected, intelligent logistics ecosystem.
