This chart is a selling point for IoT-based supply chain visibility solutions like Arviem AG.
Since these ships are lingering near the port they should mostly be inside GSM cell tower range and able to transmit real time information about the condition of the cargo inside a container without the need for more expensive satellite phone solutions. Even outside of cell coverage, the container "knows" what ship it is on and regular ship ID#/GPS data is available to you as the interested party in knowing where your goods are. Wouldn't you like to know where your goods are? It's easy to find out. There are multiple solutions available and they are generally affordable. For high-risk, high-value or time-sensitive goods these solutions are, or should be viewed as, a necessity. Unfortunately, too many companies won't take the step thinking the cost of knowing isn't worthwhile.
I thinking the cost of not knowing is what is unaffordable!
