In their own words

Hapag-Lloyd Live Position

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.
