Operators can now manually announce the containers they plan to pick up or drop off, specifying their mode of transport directly via MPET Connect. This feature is particularly useful for operators who haven’t yet integrated the Hinterland Notification API into their own systems. By using this functionality, MPET will be able to optimize stacking strategies, making operations smoother for everyone.

We’ve also improved the logic behind some statusus, providing users with more accurate and timely information.
