FAQ
Frequently asked questions about EXIM & Container
- What is container tracking software?
- Container tracking software connects to shipping line APIs and vessel position data to give importers and exporters real-time visibility into the location and status of their sea freight containers. Without dedicated software, EXIM teams must log into each shipping line's portal separately — Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and others each have their own system — to check the status of containers across different carriers. Container tracking software aggregates all of this into a single platform, normalises the milestone events (gate-in, vessel loaded, sailed, arrived, gated-out), and alerts teams proactively to exceptions like vessel delays, missed connections, and impending demurrage windows.
- How does Traqo.ai track containers across 170+ shipping lines?
- Traqo.ai maintains direct API integrations with the major global shipping lines — Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen, COSCO, Yang Ming, and 160+ more. When you add a container number to Traqo.ai (by pasting it, uploading a list, or syncing from your freight forwarder's system), the platform auto-identifies the carrier and begins pulling live milestone updates from the shipping line's data feed. Updates are refreshed continuously so the status in Traqo.ai reflects the latest information from the carrier within minutes of each event.
- What is demurrage and how does Traqo.ai help prevent it?
- Demurrage is a daily charge levied by the shipping line when an import container remains at the port or terminal beyond the free-time period allowed after vessel arrival — typically 3–7 days depending on the port and shipping line. Once the free-time window expires, demurrage accrues daily and can reach hundreds of dollars per container per day. Traqo.ai's demurrage countdown alert fires 48–72 hours before the free-time window expires, giving your EXIM team time to arrange customs clearance or port pickup before charges begin. Traqo.ai customers have saved millions in demurrage charges by acting on early alerts instead of discovering charges at month-end.
- What container milestones does Traqo.ai track?
- Traqo.ai tracks the full lifecycle of a container from origin gate-in to destination gate-out, including: empty container pickup from depot, stuffing and seal confirmation, gate-in at origin port, vessel loading confirmation, vessel departure (actual and estimated), transshipment events at intermediate ports, vessel arrival at destination port (actual and estimated), terminal availability confirmation, customs release, empty return to depot. For containerised EXIM shipments, this gives your logistics and finance teams a complete paper trail for reconciliation, insurance claims, and carrier performance analysis.
- How does vessel ETA tracking work in Traqo.ai?
- Traqo.ai integrates with AIS (Automatic Identification System) vessel tracking data in addition to shipping line APIs, giving you real-time vessel positions on a live map alongside carrier-provided ETA updates. When a vessel's actual position and speed suggest it will arrive earlier or later than the carrier's last-published ETA, Traqo.ai flags the discrepancy and updates your container's projected arrival accordingly. This is particularly valuable for planning customs clearance appointments, container truck bookings, and warehouse receiving slots — all of which need to be locked in days before actual arrival.
- What is container detention and how does Traqo.ai help avoid it?
- Container detention (also called equipment detention or per diem) is a charge levied when you keep a shipping line's container beyond the free-time period allowed after gate-out from the port — either at your warehouse during unstuffing or at an intermediate holding location. While demurrage accrues at the port, detention accrues at your facility. Traqo.ai tracks both windows simultaneously, alerting your operations team when either clock is running down so empty containers are returned to the shipping line or depot before charges begin. Traqo.ai attaches the Bill of Lading, packing list, and other documents directly to the container record so your team has everything in one place to execute quickly.
- Can Traqo.ai manage both import and export container tracking?
- Yes. Traqo.ai handles both import and export container movements on the same platform. For imports, the focus is on vessel arrival visibility, customs readiness alerts, and demurrage prevention. For exports, the focus is on booking confirmation, stuffing and seal verification, vessel loading confirmation, and bill of lading matching. EXIM teams managing both import and export lanes use a unified dashboard with separate views for inbound and outbound containers, configurable alerts per direction, and a combined document vault for all shipping documents attached to each container.
- Which ports and trade lanes does Traqo.ai EXIM tracking cover?
- Traqo.ai's container tracking covers all major global trade lanes — Asia-Pacific, Asia-Europe, Asia-Middle East, Intra-Asia, Transatlantic, and Transpacific — through its 170+ shipping line integrations. Coverage is determined by the shipping line's API availability rather than port-specific integrations, so virtually any port served by a major shipping line is covered. For smaller regional ports or niche carriers not in Traqo.ai's standard library, the team can add new integrations on request within 2–4 weeks.
