ROCHELLE PARK, N.J., June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORBCOMM today announced the launch of CrewView, an onboard visibility solution that enables crews to monitor and manage smart refrigerated and dry containers in real time while in transit. Designed to close the visibility gap at sea, CrewView enables early detection of container issues such as temperature deviations and power failures, helping crews take faster action to protect cargo and maintain operational continuity.
“CrewView solves a critical blind spot in end-to-end container monitoring and management,” says Sameer Agrawal, ORBCOMM’s CEO. “By automating monitoring tasks, detecting issues early and enabling data-driven decisions, CrewView optimizes crew efficiency, helps to reduce cargo spoilage, enhances crew safety and provides visibility and transparency for customers—both onboard and onshore.”
With CrewView, vessel crews receive instant SMS alarm notifications on their mobile devices from ORBCOMM-enabled smart containers, providing continuous visibility that doesn’t require satellite connectivity. Vessel-to-shore data transmission ensures onshore monitoring. Container loading and stowage information automatically displays interactive bay, row and tier maps in the ORBCOMM Maritime platform. APIs allow seamless data exchange with third-party platforms and enable alerting from third-party devices.
CrewView represents a critical step forward in ORBCOMM’s broader mission to digitalize the end-to-end smart container journey—at port, at sea and on land. As the global demand for high-value, temperature-sensitive cargo grows, CrewView ensures that vessels are fully integrated into the visibility chain, closing a critical gap in maritime operations.
CrewView has been successfully piloted across multiple global shipping lines, delivering measurable improvements in onboard response time and cargo security. CrewView builds upon solutions from Vobal Technologies, LLC, which ORBCOMM acquired assets from in May 2025. “We have been actively using this technology as a partner for the last 10 years,” said Agrawal. “With smart containers becoming the industry standard, we decided it was time to own the core technology and strengthen our maritime portfolio.”
