Customer-owned Tracker

Your own tracking device on our flights – for even more precise tracking.

Track it yourself: Customer-owned Tracker

A solid foundation for optimising your entire supply chain. On most Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cargo flights, you can track your shipment with your own tracking device from approved manufacturers – and benefit from even more precise delivery monitoring data.

 

Your benefits at a glance

  • No further costs after evaluation of the tracking devices
  • Detailed information about your shipment
  • More advantages depending on the device, such as theft protection or humidity monitoring

This is how easy shipment tracking works

  • Status information from Cargo iQ (CiQ, formerly C2K) creates detailed tracking data.
  • Tracking made easy: Customer-owned Tracker guideline
  • Register your tracking device for use on our aircraft via the IATA ONE Source portal
  • For a detailed overview of the registration process, see the ONE Source User Manual
  • Non-intentionally transmitting devices powered by coin cells are per EASA AIR OPS GM1 CAT.GEN.MPA.140 (b) in a switched-off status – and are therefore permitted for use on the Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cargo fleet without further assessment.

Regulations for trackers with lithium-ion batteries

Important: No ELI/ELM declaration required when the exception for data loggers and cargo tracking devices applies.


Data loggers and cargo tracking devices containing lithium cells or batteries may be exempt from the IATA DGR.
In accordance with IATA DGR 1.2.7.1(i), qualifying devices that are attached to or placed in packages, overpacks or unit load devices and are used or intended to be used during transport are not subject to the provisions of the IATA DGR, provided all applicable conditions of the exception are met.


Where the requirements of IATA DGR 1.2.7.1(i) are fulfilled:
  • No lithium battery mark on the packages or overpacks due to the device.
  • No lithium battery statement on the Air Waybill
  • No ELI or ELM booking
​The exception applies only where all applicable requirements of IATA DGR 1.2.7.1(i) are fulfilled, including the applicable lithium battery limits.
Please note that the exception does not apply when the data logger or cargo tracking device itself is offered for transport as a consignment. In such cases, the  IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations must be followed.
Please check whether your data logger or cargo tracking device qualifies for the exception before declaring it as ELI or ELM.c
