What is a Shipping Container Number?
A shipping container number is a unique 11-character code used to identify containers in global logistics, regardless of the shipping line or operator.
This number follows the ISO 6346 standard and consists of:
- 4-letter prefix (indicating the owner or operator, such as CMAU, CGMU, FSCU, TEMU, etc.)
- 7-digit serial number
Common Prefix Examples Used by CMA CGM and Other Shipping Lines:
- CMAU – Standard CMA CGM container
- CGMU – CMA CGM container (alternative prefix)
- FSCU – Florens container used by CMA CGM
- TEMU – Textainer container used by CMA CGM
*Many containers on CMA CGM vessels may be owned or operated by other shipping lines or leasing companies, but all follow the same international numbering system for identification and tracking.
