Container shipping company CMA CGM has launched its real-time container tracking mobile application for its clients.

This comes after the company announced its investment in the startup TRAXENS, which is specialized in container geolocation.

The new mobile application offers a follow-up solution and real time data collecting on the container's position, the upcoming vessels departures and other services by CMA CGM.

Available in five languages, the application will allow the users to follow loading operations, search for routes or consult vessels schedules.

The application will further be enhanced by adding Eco calculator functionality, which will allow the clients to know exactly the carbon footprint their container produces.

CMA CGM Group IT Systems senior vice president Elie Zeenny said: "The Launching of this mobile application is only the beginning of a vast technological innovation program by CMA CGM."

Around 34% of the phone calls from clients aim at getting information about a container's position.

The new mobile application, available on the App Store and Google Play will offer instant information helping save time.
