Research and Markets Adds Report: ‘Global Container Tracking and Security Industry Report – Forecasts to 2017’

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Container Tracking and Security Industry Report - Forecasts to 2017" report to its offerings.

In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include:

Shipping container tracking is a subset of asset tracking and aims at securing assets and increase operational efficiency. Berg Insight's definition of a real-time container tracking solution is a system that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning and data communication to a back office application. Tracking and monitoring of shipping containers came in focus after 9/11.

Many companies saw an opportunity and started ambitious container tracking projects. However, neither the technology nor the market was ready at the time. Today, mobile and satellite networks can provide ubiquitous online connectivity at a reasonable cost and mobile computing and sensor technology delivers high performance, as well as excellent usability. All of these components combined enable the delivery of supply chain management, security management and operations management applications linking containers and enterprise IT systems.

Intermodal shipping containers are standardized, reusable containers used in intermodal transport systems worldwide. Container trade is the fastest growing segment in seaborne trade, having grown nearly 10 percent annually since the 1980s. Maritime transportation and the increased containerization of goods are key enablers to make the global supply chain work efficiently.

Today, more than 80 percent of international trade goods are carried by sea. At the end of 2012, there were over 20 million cargo containers worldwide, the equivalent of 32.5 million TEU.
