It is important to track cargo state in global Maritime Logistics. By the nature of Maritime Logistics, it takes cargo a long time to be transported. If a problem in cargo state comes up in transit, we need real-time notice and response about the problem. Also, we need how to track the cargo's state information in order to clarify where the responsibility lies when problems occur. Although the study of the existing Cargo Location Trace was partly conducted, there is a lack of study with managing cargo state depending on environments. This study suggests a system to track and manage the cargo state in Maritime Logistics IPRFID Service Platform. A few requirements are identified in order to manage cargo state and a few functions are drawn. Furthermore, the process is suggested to generate cargo state information in Maritime Logistics IP-RFID Service Platform. In this study, there is significance in suggesting a plan to track cargo state as well as track cargo location studied mainly.
