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 MATU, MATX, TRLU, TEMU, etc.)
- 7-digit serial number
Common Prefix Examples Used by Matson and Other Shipping Lines:
- MATU – Standard Matson container
- MATX – Matson container (alternative prefix)
- TRLU – Triton International container used by Matson
- TEMU – Textainer container used by Matson

*Many containers on Matson 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.
