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 COSU, CCLU, FDCU, TEMU, etc.)
- 7-digit serial number
Common Prefix Examples Used by COSCO and Other Shipping Lines:
- COSU – Standard COSCO container
- CCLU – China Shipping container (used by COSCO)
- FDCU – Florens container used by COSCO
- TEMU – Textainer container used by COSCO
*Many containers on COSCO 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.
