How to Track a Container
Tracking a container has become simple and fast, thanks to modern technology. All you need is the information that identifies a specific container.
Operation → Job → Container Tracking
For sea freight, tracking uses the container number, bill of lading, or booking numbers.
Let’s take a closer look at how shipping containers are tracked using these identifiers:
Container Number (CT)
Using the container number, the shipper, carrier, and other parties in the supply chain can track the current location of the container, obtain the estimated date and time of arrival and departure from the port, and more.
Bill of Lading (BL)
A bill of lading is a document created to confirm the rights to keep all its details. It also serves as legal confirmation of the transportation agreement between the carrier, shipper, and consignee. The bill of lading data is marked with an identification number, which can be used to track the container. Multiple containers can be tracked separately under the same bill of lading number.
