Tracking cargo location is crucial, but monitoring its condition in real-time is a game changer for the refrigerated shipping sector. With the introduction of iReefer, MSC is offering enhanced visibility into reefer cargo, providing shippers with precise data on temperature, humidity, and journey conditions.
The importance of such monitoring cannot be overstated. Perishable goods like pharmaceuticals, fresh produce, and seafood require strict temperature control. Even minor fluctuations can lead to spoilage, financial losses, and supply chain disruptions. With iReefer, customers can access live data via myMSC or through API integration, ensuring complete oversight of their shipments from origin to destination.
Remote monitoring has become a necessity in global trade, where unforeseen delays, route changes, or mechanical failures can compromise sensitive cargo. Real-time alerts allow for immediate action, reducing risks and safeguarding product integrity. The ability to track both location and condition in a single platform enhances operational efficiency and decision-making.
For industry professionals, such innovations mark a shift towards greater transparency in maritime logistics. The adoption of digital tools like iReefer reflects the increasing demand for automation and real-time intelligence in supply chain management. With customer expectations rising, having granular control over reefer shipments is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Shippers can log in to myMSC to access iReefer, giving them full control anytime, anywhere. As the industry continues to embrace smart technologies, solutions like this set new standards for efficiency and cargo security in reefer logistics.
