How do status updates work?

Our ocean tracker relies on AIS data (Automatic Identification System) pulled directly from satellites and ground stations. Once you enter a valid container or Bill of Lading number:

  • The system verifies the vessel's route with the carrier (including MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM).
  • The vessel's current geographic position is retrieved.
  • The time of arrival (ETA) is calculated based on the vessel's speed and weather conditions.
  • A timeline is generated showing every stage from loading in the USA to unloading, e.g. in Rotterdam or Bremerhaven.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does customs clearance take? Typically, the customs clearance process at a European port takes from a few to a dozen or so business days. Depending on the port's workload, these timeframes may change.
What if the shipment status isn't updating? Updates depend on satellite coverage. On the open ocean the signal can be sparser. If the delay exceeds 72 hours, it's worth checking the details on the timeline.
Is the ETA date final? No. ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. This date may change due to storms, port congestion or changes to the carrier's sailing schedule.
