The Canadian port’s enhanced container web-tracking tool allows shippers to track the status of their containers as they moves throughout the supply chain.
The Halifax Port Authority upgraded its web-tracking tool, referred to as “Halifax Gets It There,” which is designed for importers and exports moving containers through the port’s container terminals, the Halifax Port Authority said.
The upgraded container web-tracking tool includes container visibility after vessel discharge (import) or before vessel loading (export), allowing the container’s status to be tracked as it moves throughout the supply chain.
In addition, the enhanced tool allows shippers to track a container by setting automated alerts that are sent back to them via email or SMS.
Situated on the East Coast of Canada, the Port of Halifax is frequented by 19 direct liner services and has terminals designed to handle containerized, bulk, breakbulk, roll-on/roll-off and project cargo.
