🔥 Greetings Maritime Professionals!
Not all losses in the cold chain are visible. Some start quietly. A power blip in mid-ocean. A delayed alert.
The result? $250,000+ in spoiled blueberries. A missed pharma shipment. A cargo owner walking away.
In an era where 88% of perishables travel by sea and 72% of reefer losses are caused by preventable in-transit events, these hidden risks are bleeding profits silently across industry.
So we asked: What if you could eliminate the invisible losses?
This week, we went deep into the tech, data, and strategy behind ORBCOMM’s smart reefer platform to uncover how top shipping lines are:
🌐 1. Replacing Guesswork with Live Control
“The #1 cause of reefer spoilage isn’t a hardware fault. It’s a knowledge gap.”
Missed PTIs. Hot loading. Human error. ORBCOMM’s real-time telemetry, and 24/7 chain-of-custody tracking mean you don’t just see what happened — you see it as it happens.
Most potential failures are now detected before any cargo is lost — saving millions and preserving customer trust.
🟢 2. Turning CO₂ into ROI
“Sustainability is no longer a policy exercise — it’s a performance metric. “
With emissions reporting mandates tightening, ORBCOMM users are automating compliance across EU ETS, Scope 3— while reducing energy use by up to 15% per reefer.
One major fleet cut annual power costs by $2.1M through smarter temperature control alone.
🏦 3. Future-Proofing Cold Chain Resilience
“This isn’t about tracking containers. It’s about orchestrating the entire cold chain.”
Whether it’s managing reefer availability across terminals or enabling -15°C frozen transport without spoilage, ORBCOMM is helping carriers:
Anticipate disruptions
Deploy assets smarter
Reduce returns, disputes, and emissions
📌 The Big Picture
UNCTAD calls cold chain telematics the "backbone of food security."
Food waste now costs the planet $1 trillion and emits more CO₂ than air travel. In 2025, the biggest risk isn’t external — it’s internal blind spots.
ORBCOMM’s platform combines combines sensors, cellular and satellite connectivity and predictive insightto help eliminate the invisible costs of reefer shipping.
It’s not about controlling containers. It’s about commanding the future.
