SeatrackBox is a system designed to collect and track data on containers that have fallen overboard at sea. This initiative responds to a new regulation introduced by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), which mandates that ship captains report the location of lost containers to ensure improved maritime safety and environmental protection.

According to the updated laws of the IHO, vessel operators are required to report the coordinates of any containers lost at sea, allowing authorities and other stakeholders to monitor these incidents in real-time. The SeatrackBox system facilitates this process by offering a reliable and easy-to-use platform that captures and shares the precise location data of these containers. This data can be crucial for preventing environmental hazards and mitigating the risks of maritime accidents caused by floating containers.

The SeatrackBox platform aims to integrate these location reports with existing maritime tracking systems, ensuring compliance with international regulations while providing transparency and accountability in managing oceanic incidents involving lost cargo.
