Evergreen Line selects ORBCOMM’s smart dry container solutions

ORBCOMM® announces that Evergreen Line is equipping its dry container fleet with ORBCOMM’s smart container technology.

“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 CEO. “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.”

ORBCOMM’s solution delivers greater value to its customers through enhanced cargo visibility, protection, and reliability. The rollout provides advanced event alerts, including door openings, temperature deviations, shock detection, and comprehensive location reporting. These capabilities work together to protect precious cargo, improve container security, boost crew safety, drive operational efficiency, and provide customers with new digital solutions.

“Smart intermodal containers are no longer experimental—they are becoming the new standard,” continued Agrawal. “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.”

New deployments will take advantage of ORBCOMM's second-generation smart dry container technology, which adds new sensors for security and cargo integrity, while continuing to enable longer sea journeys, extended years of device life, and what ORBCOMM says is the highest device reliability, providing the lowest TCO and highest ROI to shipping lines.
