Quick answer

You want fewer portal checks and faster notice when Maersk changes an ETA. TRADLINX gives you one place to track containers, get change alerts, and keep customers aligned. You spend less time searching and more time acting.

What you get with TRADLINX for Maersk

One view for Maersk shipments alongside other carriers.
Focused alerts for ETA change, discharge, and gate out.
Clear timelines you can share with sales and customers.
Simple start using container numbers. Add references for context as needed.

Common pain points and how this helps

Hub transshipments. ETAs shift at key hubs. Unified alerts surface the move without rechecking the portal.
Container rollovers. One box under a BL may roll to a later sailing. The feed shows the divergence early.
Inland handoffs. Gate out and rail moves affect delivery plans. Alerts keep trucking aligned.

Example: Asia–Europe with a hub change

Your container loads at Busan. It transships to a mother vessel at Tanjung Pelepas. Overnight the hub adjusts the connection and the ETA moves by a day. Without a unified feed, the spreadsheet stays wrong until someone logs in. With TRADLINX, the alert lands in the channel your team uses. Plans update the same morning.

FAQ

Can I track by container or BL?
Start with container numbers. Add other references if you have them to organize work.

Will I see transshipments?
Yes. The feed reflects milestone changes across legs so you can follow the handover.

How often do ETAs update?
Cadence varies by lane and port. The point is you do not need to recheck portals. You get changes pushed to you.
