Track shipments and predict accurate container arrivals with Windward’s Container Tracking. Get a clear, real-time view of every container, anticipate exceptions before they happen, and keep operations aligned.
Designed for global shipping operations, Windward’s Container Tracking provides a unified, real-time view of every container with accurate, gap-free data across the journey, giving teams the clarity to act early, manage exceptions, and keep shipments running reliably.
Get a unified, accurate view of all shipments across carriers, ports, and trade lanes with AI-validated ATD, ATA, and port calls.
Use stable, accurate arrival forecasts that refine as vessels approach port, without noisy fluctuations or conflicting container timelines.
Ensure every container on the same vessel shares a single, harmonized timeline, eliminating conflicting updates.
Surface rollovers, transshipment delays, route changes, and prolonged port stays in real time.
Rely on ETAs that update in real time as vessels move or port conditions change, giving your team accurate arrival times for delivery planning. Share shipment status, milestones, and exceptions through secure link-based pages, reducing update requests and strengthening customer satisfaction.
By unifying fragmented carrier data with AI-validated events such as ATD, ATA, and port calls, the platform delivers a complete and accurate timeline for every shipment, strengthening all downstream processes and enabling teams to operate more efficiently.
Stay ahead of every vessel change with real-time visibility and automated alerts. By replacing manual tracking with verified updates on rollovers, delays, unloads, and departures, you gain a clear view across all ports, hold carriers accountable, and strengthen future negotiations.
Get real-time visibility into rollovers, delays, and containers dwelling too long at port. Automated, tailored alerts replace manual tracking and keep all stakeholders aligned, while flexible customization lets you control which exceptions appear for import, export, or key accounts.
Gain early intelligence on emerging risks and detect abnormal vessel behavior, congestion patterns, and external events before they impact your shipments.
Windward combines advanced predictive models with real-time vessel data, carrier schedules, historical performance, and expert human verification to deliver reliable, unified container tracking. With accurate arrival forecasts, verified milestones, and automated insights, teams can plan with confidence and keep global operations running smoothly.
How Accurate is Windward Maritime AI™ Predicted ETA?
Windward’s Predicted ETA provides stable, day-level accuracy, refined as vessels approach port. The model predicts by the hour but is trained to stay within the correct calendar day, ensuring reliable planning. All containers on the same vessel share one aligned arrival timeline, eliminating conflicting dates and improving confidence across operations.
Can Windward Container Tracking identify the reasons for delays?
Yes. Windward Container Tracking automatically identifies and explains the causes of container delays in real time. Using Maritime AI™, the system analyzes vessel behavior, port activities, routing patterns, and carrier performance to surface the specific events that led to the delay, such as rollovers, transshipment issues, route deviations, or late departures. These insights help teams understand what happened and communicate clearly with customers.
What are Windward’s data sources?
Windward combines over a decade of proprietary maritime data with multiple real-time inputs, including AIS vessel movements, carrier schedules, voyage history, congestion indicators, weather, geopolitical developments, and open-source information such as news and social media. When data is missing or inconsistent, Windward’s human-in-the-loop team verifies and corrects events to ensure accuracy. This multi-layered approach delivers a complete, reliable picture of every shipment.
Can I customize the data fields in Windward Container Tracking?
Yes. Windward allows full customization of the data you see and how it is delivered. You can choose which exceptions, milestones, and fields appear for import, export, or key accounts, and configure the detection rules and thresholds based on your operational priorities. Through API, webhook, and UI controls, teams can tailor the visibility experience to match their workflows and customer needs.
