The Subport of Mariveles started utilizing E-TRACC on December 10 in order to track the real-time location and status of containers after being released from the ports to accredited cold storage.
The system, which is implemented by the bureau covering all its ports nationwide, ensures that no deviation from their supposed route is done.
E-TRACC system is a web-based platform that can generate real-time information to monitor the movement and location of containers using GPS-enabled customs seal. The technology sends alarm to the port for any deviation from normal routes, unauthorized trips, and tampering of seals.
The implementation of this program is pursuant to Customs Memorandum Order (CMO) 04-2020, “Establishment of an Electronic Tracking of Containerized Cargo System (E-TRACC System) and Accreditation of a Service Provider for the Purpose.”
