Maritime freight is undergoing a fast transformation with regard to the technology that can be carried by containers, such as sensors, transponders, etc., which can allow for better identification of containers and their condition. However, the correlation between goods carried in containers, their environmental needs, and their state upon arrival still involves manual processes. Techniques herein propose a method for maritime containers to express an unloading/opening urgency based on the reported status of individual merchandise units carried inside containers.
