Hutchison Ports ubi mobile app exceeds 6,000 users in less than a year.

Since its launch in March 2021, the number of users of the ubi app has steadily increased to 6,000 in just one year.

The main objective of the app is to provide reliable real-time information for the entire maritime-logistics sector in a digital way. The App, which can be downloaded free of charge, allows tracking of ships, trains and containers passing through BEST.

Recently, a free wifi network was set up in the truck centre area to provide greater coverage for carriers. This enables users to access the app in a faster and more agile way, without using their own mobile data.

Following user feedback, some of the most valued aspects of the application are thoroughness of information, alerts received for entry and location within the terminal, as well as being updated on all announcements issued.

The success of ubi demonstrates once again Hutchison Ports BEST’s continued commitment to digitalisation, transparency and providing dynamic and accurate information for all actors in the logistics chain.
