Transport Execution & Visibility
Global Ocean Visibility
Stay ahead of disruptions and control costs
Get real-time status updates, accurate ETAs and proactive alerts across your door-to-door multimodal shipments — helping you resolve issues earlier, reduce demurrage and detention risk and track emissions to support more sustainable supply chain decisions.
Ocean moves are rarely a single leg — and updates often arrive too late to act on. Transporeon Ocean Visibility connects ocean milestones with pre- and on-carriage road and rail legs, giving you a container-level view across the entire journey. So instead of only knowing where a vessel is, you can see what’s happening across the full shipment in real time.
Stop reacting after the fact. Get real-time status updates, accurate ETAs and automated alerts for key events — including delays, rollovers, discharge changes and notices of arrival — so your teams can focus on the shipments that need attention and act earlier.
Demurrage and detention can quickly become a major cost driver when free time is hard to track and exceptions go unnoticed. Ocean Visibility helps you stay ahead with clear risk monitoring and alerts, so you can prioritise action and reduce avoidable charges at the port.
Ocean data is often fragmented across carriers, terminals, port communities, AIS, inland terminals and customer systems. We bring these sources together into a single operational view, detecting changes such as transshipments and port updates while displaying planned, estimated and actual milestones for more reliable shipment tracking.
Turn visibility into measurable sustainability progress. Automatically track greenhouse gas emissions across every leg of your ocean and multimodal shipments, helping you understand environmental impact, improve reporting, optimize routing and reduce your overall carbon footprint.
TRIMBLE ARC AGENT
Trimble Arc Agent tracks ocean and air freight status in real time, flags exceptions automatically and passes them to your team when action is needed.
Track shipments per container and connect to key references such as booking numbers, B/L, POL and POD, giving teams a clear view of cargo and shipment context.
Track milestones across the full journey with planned, estimated and actual times side by side — helping teams quickly spot delays, understand what has changed and respond earlier.
Understand remaining free time and identify fee risks earlier with proactive alerts on at-risk shipments — helping you reduce demurrage, detention, storage and plug-in costs before they escalate.
Set automatic alerts based on defined conditions and thresholds, so planners can focus on shipments that need attention instead of manually chasing updates.
Focus on the exceptions and shipments that matter. Build dashboards for day-to-day control and quickly find shipments using order, delivery, PO, booking or container references.
Understand shipment-level emissions to support sustainability reporting and make more informed, greener decisions across your ocean logistics.
Identify transshipments and port changes automatically through container tracking, so exceptions don’t get missed when plans shift.
Combine customer shipment data with external sources, such as carrier networks, terminal statuses, AIS positions and routing signals, to create a more complete and reliable operational view.
Use the browser-based interface for day-to-day execution, export data for reporting and connect with downstream tools to support wider analytics and operational workflows.

Ocean freight visibility is the ability to monitor containers, shipment milestones, estimated arrival times and disruptions throughout an ocean journey. A complete ocean visibility solution connects the vessel movement with available pre-carriage and on-carriage legs. This gives logistics teams a more complete view from initial pickup to final delivery.
Transporeon Ocean Visibility is a container-level tracking and exception-management solution for ocean and multimodal shipments. It consolidates data from carriers, terminals, port communities, AIS and inland transport sources. The solution provides real-time updates, predictive ETAs, proactive alerts and demurrage and detention risk monitoring through one operational view.
Ocean Visibility is designed for shippers, freight forwarders and logistics teams that manage containerised ocean freight. It is particularly useful for organisations tracking shipments across multiple carriers, terminals, ports and inland transport providers. Ocean planners, customer service teams, supply chain managers and sustainability teams can use the information for different operational needs.
Manual ocean tracking requires teams to check carrier portals, terminal websites, spreadsheets and emails to reconstruct a shipment’s status. Information can be inconsistent, missing or outdated across these sources. This makes it difficult to trust ETAs, identify exceptions early and monitor costs such as demurrage and detention before charges accumulate.
The shipper provides shipment identifiers such as a container number, booking number or bill of lading. Ocean Visibility then collects relevant data from carriers, terminals, AIS, port communities, inland terminals and other sources. It processes and reconciles the events, displays planned, estimated and actual milestones, and alerts users when a shipment requires attention.
Ocean Visibility can link shipments to identifiers that logistics teams already use, including container numbers, booking numbers and bills of lading. Additional references can include the port of loading, port of discharge and carrier SCAC code. These identifiers connect tracking events with the relevant cargo, booking and shipment context.
Ocean Visibility consolidates data from multiple sources, including ocean carriers, terminals, port communities, AIS vessel positions and routing signals. It can also use inland terminal information and customer-provided statuses where available. Combining these sources provides a more complete view than relying on a single carrier portal or vessel position.
Yes. Ocean Visibility can connect the ocean leg with available pre-carriage and on-carriage road or rail movements. This gives users a container-level view from the initial pickup through the vessel journey to final delivery. It also helps logistics teams understand how an exception on one leg may affect the rest of the shipment.
A planned milestone represents when an event was originally scheduled to occur. An estimated milestone is a prediction based on the latest available shipment information. An actual milestone records when the event occurred. Displaying all three helps teams recognise schedule changes, evaluate delays and communicate more accurately with stakeholders.
Ocean Visibility can alert users to important events such as delays, rollovers, discharge changes and notices of arrival. Alerts can also highlight free-time risks and other changes that may require operational follow-up. This enables teams to focus on shipments that need action rather than checking every container manually.
Yes. Ocean Visibility processes events from multiple sources to detect changes such as unexpected transshipments and port updates. These changes are surfaced in the shipment view so teams can understand how the journey has changed. Earlier awareness helps users update downstream plans and avoid surprises caused by outdated routing information.
Ocean Visibility monitors free-time status and identifies containers at risk of generating additional charges. Alerts allow teams to prioritise action before avoidable fees increase. Better milestone visibility can also improve coordination around discharge, customs clearance, collection and equipment return, although actual savings depend on operational response and port conditions.
Ocean Visibility brings together events from multiple sources and reconciles conflicting, missing or inconsistent status information. It processes these events to create a clearer sequence of planned, estimated and actual timestamps. This gives teams a more reliable operational view than manually comparing information across disconnected carrier and terminal systems.
Yes. Ocean Visibility can calculate and monitor greenhouse gas emissions across ocean shipments and connected multimodal legs. This helps organisations understand the environmental impact of individual journeys and improve sustainability reporting. The data can also support analysis of routes, transport choices and broader corporate emissions-reduction initiatives.
Ocean Visibility does not require organisations to replace their existing TMS, ERP or carrier relationships. It consolidates relevant shipment data from multiple sources into one operational view, reducing the need to check each source separately. Operations teams can use dashboards, filters, search and alerts, while data can also support analytics and connected transport workflows.
