About Hamburg

Hamburg Süd – sailing under the red flag since 1871 and part of the Maersk family since 2017 – remains the leading specialist on South America trades. Today the line fields ≈646 000 TEU across 132 ships—about 2 % of global capacity. With a trademark focus on perishables, its wide-beam Cap San class boasts 2 100 reefer plugs per ship, the highest in the segment. Every reefer is fitted with Remote Container Management (RCM) sensors so shippers can view temperature, humidity and CO₂ levels in real time. Thanks to shared Maersk systems, TrackCargo taps Hamburg Süd’s EDI feed and live AIS to refresh milestones every 15 min and merge multiple containers under one BL—delivering a single timeline from gate-in to POD.
