The CONT-TRAK project aims to provide a
unique, low-cost solution to make container shipping
more efficient and enhance trade security. It will ensure
continuous container monitoring and tracking from the
point of origin, by truck, rail or ship (buried in a stacked
environment) to the final destination. A suite of sensors
within the container will ensure immediate satcom
notification of any tampering, thus enhancing the safety
and security of container transportation.
