The transshipment blind spot

Where other trackers go quiet, we keep watching.

Transshipment is where container tracking breaks down: the box is discharged at a hub, sits anywhere from two days to three weeks, and most tools freeze on "In Transit" the whole time. Rollovers rarely come with an announcement — the real signals are a vessel that changed, a loading that never happened, an ETA that quietly moved. We track exactly those.

  • Transshipment legs, mapped

    Every mainline transshipment is identified leg by leg, with the inbound and onward vessel at each hub — no guessing which ship your container is actually on.

  • Stall detection

    A container dwelling too long at a hub gets flagged with an explicit risk reason — not left hiding behind a stale status.

  • Suspected rollover flags

    A vessel or voyage change on the same planned leg is flagged as a suspected roll risk — before the carrier says anything.

  • Every plan change on record

    ETD/ETA shifts plus vessel and voyage changes are versioned, so you can always see what changed and when — and send the change out by email or webhook.
