Sea trials said to brighten prospects for container monitor
POSTED: 9:03 a.m. EDT, May 24,2007
Trials of a satellite-based container tracker and monitor, verified by the ST Education and Training Pte Ltd (STET) Maritime Bureau, showed a high success rate according to a CargoTrax company statement.
The black boxes were "interrogated" several thousand times during the trials on the South China Sea in March.
The device was developed jointly by CargoTrax Oy of Finland and TriaGnoSys GmbH of Germany and is based global-positioning-system technology, allowing 24/7 real-time security monitoring of containers, particularly reefers, to ensure that critical conditions are met throughout voyages.
Said Markus Werner, managing director of TriaGnoSys: "I am pleased that all the test messages sent from various monitoring boxes were captured and correctly logged. Forwarding of messages worked perfectly, and all information was correctly delivered to the remote monitoring application server." |
