Hazmat compliance is non-negotiable. Detention costs are avoidable.
Hazardous materials require specialized equipment, certified carriers, and precise documentation. Intermodal rail and tank-wagon movements demand coordination generic tools cannot provide. Detention at chemical terminals carries per diem rates far higher than standard trailers.

20+ outcomes configured for Energy / Chemicals supply chains.
FourKites maintains separate cutoff fields by cargo type (dry, reefer, hazardous) per port. Proactive alerts trigger when a hazmat shipment is approaching its earlier cutoff window. Booking Connect validates cargo classification against cutoff availability before confirming a booking.
FourKites integrates with major European rail operators and telematics providers to track tank wagons and IBC containers at the individual asset level. ML-powered ETAs predict arrival at chemical terminals. FourSight provides asset utilization analytics across the rail fleet.
Bulk liquid marine shipments tracked from terminal to terminal. Tanker and vessel visibility for oil, gas, and chemicals.
Detention and demurrage claims validated automatically with yard and gate evidence. Invalid charges disputed with proof.
FourKites auto-tags individual shipments affected by weather alerts and geopolitical events (major shipping-lane disruptions, conflict zones). Each tagged shipment receives a documented delay reason code, and filtered views let teams triage every affected shipment in one screen.
Carbon emissions calculated automatically per shipment. ESG reporting without spreadsheets.
