Unlike other container tracking systems, iContainers’ Track & Trace allows you to access the status of your containers simply by logging in.
This means that without having to enter reference or booking numbers, all container shipments are listed directly in the tracking section within the user’s personalized area.
Our container tracking system also allows you to track shipments across different shipping carriers all at once.
If you have multiple shipments with different shipping lines, there is no need to go to each carriers’ container tracking page and enter your booking number one by one to get shipment updates. With iContainers’ Track & Trace, you can monitor all your shipments on one single page, regardless of the carrier that’s transporting your merchandise.
We are constantly working on improving our container tracking system to be able to offer the best possible service to our clients.

You can also obtain specific details about your shipment including the ETA. This graphic, which you can access via the Track & Trace tab, helps you to visualize the entire process and informs you of the current status of your shipment.
This way, you have a clearer overview of the entire logistics process and in the event of an unexpected delay, you can stay informed first hand and begin putting a plan B in place, if necessary.
With our container tracking timeline, you can track your shipment each step of its way. The timeline highlights the important milestones and events your shipment passes through and is updated everytime there’s a status change. These include arrival at terminal at POL, loading, etc.
Here’s an example of what a shipment timeline looks like.
You can view a list of your shipment reservations with iContainers from the main Track & Trace tab. This page lists all your bookings regardless of the shipping carrier that’s transporting your shipment.
This saves you the trouble of having to either call each carrier to get an update for your shipment or entering your booking numbers into their corresponding container tracking systems one by one.
To complement and enhance our Track & Trace container tracking service, iContainers also provides an automated notifications feature that allows you to stay up-to-date with your shipments automatically.
As soon as your shipment gates in at the port of loading, you will begin to receive notifications via email informing you of any changes in status to your shipment every time it reaches a milestone.
Plus, our automated notifications system informs you when you are required to upload a certain document. This allows you to always be on top of your shipment and avoid possible lengthy delays and delay costs.
