Containerised Shipping – Container Tracking If you know your shipping line or container number, you can often track your cargo online. Look for the 4-letter prefix (the beginning of the container number) in the tables below.
Shipping lines’ websites will usually give you the current shipment details, such as the vessel name and expected arrival dates. Leading businesses’ websites will usually give you the current lessee’s or customer’s name. If the lessee is a shipping line, you can then go to their website to search for the shipment details.
