Folk Maritime partners with Orbcomm to deploy smart container technology

Folk Maritime Services Company has chosen Orbcomm’s smart container monitoring technology to enable end-to-end supply chain visibility and enhanced cargo protection for its entire container fleet. 

This partnership will make Folk Maritime, a feeder and regional liner provider from Saudi Arabia, the first container shipping line from the Middle East to deploy a smart dry container fleet. 

Mohamed Badawi, Folk Maritime COO, said: “We’re always looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Orbcomm’s technology will enable us to further digitalise our shipping operations so we can solve logistical problems, optimise shipment tracking and improve our cargo integrity and protection.
