A watercraft battery switch system with visual indicator may have a multi-position, physical rotary switch with integrated LED lighting to visually indicate to a watercraft user information about the watercraft's batteries. In an embodiment, the battery switch system may indicate whether the watercraft's batteries are in use and what combination of batteries is currently powering one or more of the watercraft's systems.

A watercraft information collecting system includes an onboard system and a server outside a watercraft. The onboard system includes watercraft devices on the watercraft, an onboard network on the watercraft and connected to the watercraft devices, and a communication terminal communicable with the watercraft devices via the onboard network. The server is communicable with the communication terminal. The communication terminal is configured or programmed to execute a system scanning process to collect information about the watercraft devices and a scanning result transmission process to transmit a scanning result including the information collected by the system scanning process to the server. The server is configured or programmed to register the scanning result received from the communication terminal and to collect at least one of position information about the watercraft or information about a distribution stage of the watercraft.

A method of monitoring real-time maritime logistics and operating a transportation information sharing platform is described. The method includes receiving shipment information including product information, a place of departure, and a place of arrival from a shipper terminal, and transmitting the shipment information to a forwarder terminal, receiving, from the forwarder terminal, a specific area in a bonded warehouse corresponding to the shipment information, a name of a vessel delivering a product, a bill of lading (BL) number, and maritime monitoring and information systems (MMIS), generating a uniform resource locator (URL) including the bill of lading number, the name of the vessel, and the shipping information, and transmitting the uniform resource locator to the shipper terminal and the forwarder terminal, and providing the shipping information in real time to the shipper terminal and the forwarder terminal through the uniform resource locator.

A device for lashing a vehicle to a loading surface includes a lashing ring and a fixing arrangement for fixing the lashing ring to a hub cap receptacle of a vehicle wheel of the vehicle. The fixing arrangement has a carrier insertable into the hub cap receptacle from an external side of the vehicle wheel and having a central passage opening, a threaded rod receivable in the opening, a clamping cone disposed on the threaded rod, a retaining plate having a central opening for the threaded rod, where the lashing ring is fixed to the retaining plate, and at least two locking elements. Each of the locking elements have an inner wall which corresponds to a frustoconical lateral surface of the clamping cone and an outer wall which corresponds to an inner opening wall of a region of a central opening of the vehicle wheel adjoining the hub cap receptacle.
