Support for new shipping lines in the Tracking System

The long-awaited news for many users and customers, and great news for partners using tracking on their website. Now SeaRates tracking supports the following 12 shipping lines: Regional Container Lines (RCL), Trans Asian Shipping Services, Sea Hawk Lines (SHAL), Emirates Shipping Line, Avana Global FZCO, BLPL Singapore, Econship, Stolt Tank Containers (STC), Westwood Shipping Lines, T.S. Lines, Sarjak Container Lines, China Navigation Company (Swire Shipping). We currently support 35 shipping lines.

Improved data transmission algorithms allow you to quickly determine the location of ships, and this makes it possible to expand coverage and improve the accuracy of the location of the cargo. Negotiations are underway with other shipping lines to expand coverage. If you want to add a search for a specific line, please contact us at sales@searates.com.
