CargoProbe Container Tracking vs Hapag-Lloyd Live Position

CargoProbe Container Tracking follows container information throughout shipments by combining carrier, port and terminal data and filtering unreliable records. Automated anomaly detection and cross-validation reject suspect information as it enters the system. The service supports ocean tracking, ETA predictions and exception alerts, and directly integrates with major ocean carriers including Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO, Evergreen, ONE, HMM, ZIM and Yang Ming. Users can register a container number with an internal shipment reference; when multiple shipments share a container, statuses synchronize automatically. CargoProbe offers a TMS plugin, RESTful API, configurable webhooks, event notifications and ERP integration options. Milestones can flow into a TMS, while booking references can return from it. Its Portbase connection supplies Dutch-port customs clearance, terminal status, NVWA inspection and CHED/GDB filing data. A UN/LOCODE API provides current codes, coordinates and metadata for more than 100,000 locations. The platform is available via web and API. Signup information shows web access only for listed plans and directs enterprise or API customers to contact CargoProbe; no plan prices are shown.

Hapag-Lloyd Live Position tracks dry containers across ship, rail, and truck journeys using IoT devices attached to containers. The tracking view shows status, location, ETA, inland distance traveled, and planned or updated shipment information. A shipment must be purchased as a whole, even if some containers lack devices, and the service is available only for dry containers equipped with a smart device.

GPS trackers transmit location data every 15 minutes. For eligible Carrier Haulage import bookings, Live ETA is included and updates arrival estimates using device data and past planned-versus-actual transport performance. ETA changes appear automatically on the website and API. Customers can view vessel history, with vessel data updated every 24 hours, and download tracking data as CSV. Access is through the Online Business Suite for signed-in customers. Carrier Haulage is listed at free; Merchant Haulage costs $15, paid once per container. The API is available for customer systems; self-onboarding is free and comprehensive IT onboarding is USD 5,000.
