Evergreen Line adds smart container technology

Evergreen Line is deploying ORBCOMM’s smart dry container systems to increase monitoring capabilities across its fleet.

The system provides real-time visibility into container status and movement, with sensors delivering alerts on door openings, temperature variations, shocks, and location.

“This move signals a broader shift in the maritime industry where dry containers are rapidly evolving from static assets into smart, connected, intelligent units,” said Sameer Agrawal, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer.

“ORBCOMM is the only company in the world that has enabled more than one million smart containers to date. We are honoured to have been trusted by Evergreen to roll out smart dry containers to their fleet as well.”

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

The rollout will use ORBCOMM’s second-generation smart container devices, which feature extended sensor capabilities for cargo security, longer device life, and improved reliability.
