Core Capabilities | SeaVantage Cargo Insight

Global carrier integration

Track containers across all major shipping carriers — MSCU, MAEU, HLCU, CMAL, ONEY, and more — from one unified dashboard. No more logging into carrier portals.

Flexible multi-reference search

Search by MBL (master bill of lading), booking number, or container number. Track multiple containers simultaneously with bulk search and intelligent reference matching.

MBL · Booking · Container

Real-time AIS vessel tracking

Live vessel positions on an interactive map. View current routes, historical paths, and upcoming port calls. Toggle between map and list view at any time.

Live map

PTA — AI-powered predictions

SeaVantage's proprietary Predicted Time of Arrival uses historical patterns, AIS data, and weather to give you a second opinion on when cargo will actually arrive — often catching delays before carriers report them.

SeaVantage AI

Terminal & rail data visibility

Direct integration with APM Terminals and major terminals worldwide. Monitor container availability, gate-out times, and rail transit with detailed milestone updates.

APM + rail

Demurrage & cargo reporting

Real-time demurrage dashboard showing dwell time by port. Filter by 0–4, 5+, 10+, or 15+ days. Spot containers at risk before fees accrue. Export to your own systems.

Full milestone event history

Every shipment carries a full audit trail: empty equipment dispatched, in-gate, loaded on vessel, vessel departure, transshipment calls, unloaded, and final POD arrival.

End-to-end

Share shipments with partners

Email live tracking links to up to 5 external recipients per shipment. Links auto-expire when tracking ends. Revoke access instantly from Share Management. Full audit log included.
