Transshipment of cargoes between borders requires real-time alerts on any exceptions and violations during transit. Sensors enriched lock-and-seal with e-Seal™ integrated with GPS and cellular communications have been proven useful for both dry and wet containers in stopping import duty losses while providing security from tampering and theft loss.

Cargo transshipment is UN-certified tax-free transit from seaports of one country cross-border to another land-bound country. While most of these cargoes are containerized and mechanically sealed, many attempts of tax evasion trafficking happen and need to be controlled and managed. Containers that are designated to travel from seaport to another inland country are open and cargo removed or substituted to avoid paying import duties in the seaport country. For example, Uganda and Rwanda in East Africa import their cargoes using the seaport of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania or Mombasa in Kenya. These import duty evasions are now controlled and managed with an electronic cargo seal that monitors the container (dry or wet) during transit. Any geo-fence violation and seal tampering are reported in real-time for corrective action.

AVANTE e-Seal™ Intermodal Container Tracking System incorporates sophisticated sensors, GPS, and Cellular for end-to-end real-time container intrusion and geo-fence cross border tracking. AVANTE’s unique optical e-Seal™ provides irrefutable real-time geo-tagged alerts of intrusion, theft, and other tampering events of the sealed containers and tankers. 

  • AVANTE GPS integrated e-Seal™ detects and geo-tags any intrusion attempts and events and reports in real-time for possible corrective action using international compatible cellular.   
  • Sophisticated sensors record geo-tagged temperature, shock-vibration, and intrusion, and communicate real-time alerts for any pre-set levels for exception triggering. 
  • AVANTE e-Seal™ Intermodal Container Tracking System provides real-time alerts for geo-fence violations and excessive stoppages in preventing any taxation evasion.   
  • Optional real-time tanker fuel level tracking during transit besides fuel usage. 
  • AVANTE works with its customers in installing the e-Seal™ at the factories or depots and retrieval of the e-Seal™ at the final destination.

AVANTE has more than 5 years in supporting intermodal container tracking with sensor integrated standard e-Seal™ for dry and wet containers. For the wet cargo containers for fuels and chemicals, intrinsically safe e-Seal™ is used in securing the manholes and controlled panels.
