Legal entities engaged in international trade are probably aware of the existence of Globy. This is a B2B marketplace with a large selection of raw materials, machinery, electronics, clothing, and other goods from different sellers. Globy also provides convenient digital tools for global logistics. If you register on the official website and open your dashboard, you will see the main tabs: Marketplace, Unclaimed Cargo, Load Calculator, and Logistics, but the platform’s capabilities are not limited to these.
In this article, we are talking about container tracking, which is one of the tools available for free on B2B Globy. We are reviewing the Maersk shipping line, talking about the specifics of transportation and cargo inspection at the port, and other nuances.
Globy Platform: Overview
Let’s start by explaining why you should choose this particular platform; Globy has many advantages, but the most commonly mentioned are the following:
- easy registration in a few minutes;
- availability of free logistics tools;
- user-friendly website with simple controls;
- huge selection of products;
- no fees for deals.
Anyone can create an account on the platform. To do this, it is enough to be a representative of a company registered in any country. It does not matter which part of the world you are in. On Globy, you can find suppliers from China, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, and so on. The buyers may be located in Europe or North America. Some raw materials are shipped from Africa to South America for further processing. You can sort the vendors in the catalog and select only the manufacturers of the product to get the best price. If you are a supplier yourself, you can create product cards following the rules of the marketplace and place them in the catalog. Cargo abandoned at the port can also be sold on Globy; if you want to see the full list of offers, visit the “Unclaimed Cargo” section.
Container Tracking
If you have already found a charterer and arranged cargo delivery by sea, then cargo tracking can help you monitor your shipment throughout the transportation process. This special tool is located in the Container Tracking section on the Globy website. To get started, you need to fill in the two required fields. This means you will enter the bill of lading or container number and select the carrier, for example, Maersk International Shipping Company. Next, you can see the ship’s location on the route line. If the ship is late, you are able to find out the reason for the delay and take action to resolve the problem. You can also set up alerts about force majeure situations and problems with your cargo. To simplify tracking, we recommend using the FCL loading type so that only your items are placed in one container.
Maersk Shipping Line
Maersk is a leading company in the field of ocean transportation, which cooperates with global enterprises or with small private companies. The company’s policy is to take into account the specific needs of different customers and satisfy their requests. Maersk offers customizable cargo delivery options worldwide. Let’s look at these options further.
Ocean contract. You can organize and automate the supply chain with the help of Maersk specialists. The carrier offers transparent tariffs and flexible conditions for all customers, which indicates the security and openness of your cooperation. By signing an ocean contract, you get reliable cargo space for a long-term period.
Less-than-Container Load (LCL). When delivering boxes and pallets, you can rely on priority during loading and expect to have a guaranteed storage space. At the same time, you can control pricing and quickly contact the carrier to clarify and adjust prices. Please note: this option is offered only by the Maersk company.
Maersk Spot. You can book transportation at any time, regardless of which country and which port the cargo is located in. The price is fixed. Your choice is confirmed instantly online. Loading is guaranteed by Maersk. All management is possible on a single platform.
