Hutchison Ports launches web-based cargo security and tracking service

Australia’s third east-coast terminal operator Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) has unveiled a web-based, on-demand service called StellarTrak, which will provide HPH’s LoadStar customers with cargo security, monitoring and asset tracking services.

Group managing director of HPH John Meredith said: “StellarTrak is the latest innovation in HPH’s longstanding commitment to port and cargo security. Cargo theft, spoilage, and smuggling continue to be major concerns for our customers and all supply chain participants. LoadStar (HPH’s cargo security division) has the know-how, and leading edge technology, to make significant improvements to supply chain security and product integrity.”

Mr Meredith said StellarTrak provides LoadStar customers with real-time information about their cargo and assets. By logging in to StellarTrak, customers know the precise location of their cargo and assets, as well as the security and environmental status of the products inside. Customers can also subscribe to LoadStar’s monitoring service, and LoadStar will actively provide cargo monitoring and issue processing for them.

LoadStar CEO Neil Smith added: “We provide our customers with a service that gives them control of their supply chain, allows them to manage by exception, and provides them with immediate and substantial bottom line benefits. StellarTrak is set-up quickly, at low cost and with no upfront investment required. It’s software-as-a-service, available on a pay-as-you-go basis, and is easy to install and use.”

LoadStar operates worldwide, with offices in North America, Latin America and Asia.
