Meet Project Deadlines with Predictive ETAs
Project cargo requires absolute precision. Our predictive ETAs go beyond AIS, factoring in port congestion and historical vessel performance to give you an arrival time you can actually plan around, ensuring downstream logistics are ready.
Avoid Bottlenecks with Port Intelligence
General cargo is sensitive to port conditions. Analyze historical port performance, current waiting times, and even crane availability to de-risk your port calls and avoid costly delays and demurrage charges.
Your Cargo Data, Your Way
Access our powerful general cargo intelligence through a user-friendly dashboard or integrate it directly into your project management tools with our flexible API.
Project Logistics Dashboard

}What is General Cargo Tracking?
General cargo, often called breakbulk or project cargo, refers to goods that are not shipped in standard intermodal containers. This includes oversized machinery, construction materials, wind turbines, and other large, heavy, or irregularly shaped items that require individual handling.
Effective general cargo tracking is a specialized discipline that requires more than standard container visibility. It involves monitoring a diverse fleet of multi-purpose vessels (MPPs), understanding their unique capabilities (like heavy-lift cranes), and factoring in complex port operations. This level of intelligence is critical for the success of large-scale projects where timing is everything.

Frequently Asked Questions on General Cargo Tracking
How is tracking general cargo different from tracking containers?
Container tracking often focuses on the box number. General cargo tracking focuses on the vessel itself and the specific handling requirements at port. It requires more detailed vessel information (like crane capacity) and better port intelligence to manage the complexities of loading and unloading non-standardized items.
Can I track my cargo during loading and discharge operations?
Our platform provides detailed port call data, including arrival, pilot on board, and berthing times. This gives you high-resolution visibility into when the vessel is at the terminal, allowing you to coordinate with port agents and stevedores to monitor the physical loading and discharge operations of your project cargo.
What data sources do you use for breakbulk shipment tracking?
We fuse data from multiple sources for the highest accuracy. This includes real-time satellite and terrestrial AIS for vessel location, carrier schedules for initial planning, and historical port and vessel data to power our predictive machine-learning models for ETAs and congestion analysis.
How does your platform handle transshipments for project cargo?
Our system identifies the full voyage plan, including transshipment ports. We provide predictive ETAs for each leg of the journey and monitor port congestion at the transshipment hub, giving you advance warning of potential delays that could impact your final delivery timeline.
Can I integrate your tracking data into my project management software?
Yes. Our flexible API is designed for easy integration. You can pull real-time location data, predictive ETAs, and other key milestones directly into your existing project management, ERP, or TMS platforms to automate updates and maintain a single source of truth for your project timeline.
