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 PCIU, PILU, PIDU, TRLU, etc.)
- 7-digit serial number
Common Prefix Examples Used by PIL and Other Shipping Lines:
- PCIU – Standard PIL container
- PILU – PIL container (alternative prefix)
- PIDU – PIL container (alternative prefix)
- TRLU – Triton International container used by PIL

*Many containers on PIL 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.
