Horizon Lines has introduced ReeferPlusGPS, a container tracking and shipment monitoring solution for refrigerated ocean containers moving between the continental United States and Puerto Rico.
The service, which is available now, is designed to improve the visibility and security of high-value perishable cargo requiring cold chain logistics.
The service, which Horizon said has been in development and testing for two years, enables customers to track, trace, monitor and take corrective action from their offices anywhere in the world.
ReeferPlus features include GPS-enabled real-time container tracking; in-box sensors reporting temperature, atmosphere and security updates via the Web; and remote monitoring and adjusting of reefer conditions.
Horizon, the largest Jones Act carrier, said ReeferPlus uses Impeva Labs’ Global Sentinel Unit, which links multiple two-way communication channels, real-time wireless sensors and a direct two-way interface to the refrigerated container’s controller.
