Track containers, vessels, and shipment patterns with precision

Search shipments by container number, carrier, vessel, port, product, or company—and monitor timely activity across global supply chains with saved searches, company follows, and automated alerts.

You can’t optimize a supply chain you can’t see

Most teams lack visibility into container movements, carrier activity, and real shipment routes. Without precise tracking, logistics teams struggle to plan capacity, compliance teams can’t verify supplier claims, and analysts miss competitive signals hiding inside shipping patterns.

ImportGenius solves this with detailed Container Shipment & Tracking capabilities. Search by container number, vessel name, carrier code, bill of lading, shipper, consignee, ports, product—and other filters to pinpoint exactly what you need. Save your searches, follow companies, or set shipment alerts so you’re notified the moment matching activity clears customs.
