How do I check the current status of a CMA CGM container?

Select the “Container Number” tab in the tracking widget above and enter the complete CMA CGM container number, such as one beginning with CMAU or CGMU. Tradlinx combines CMA CGM carrier data with AIS vessel signals to show the latest available container status, vessel information, and shipment milestones.

Can I track a CMA CGM shipment using a Bill of Lading number?

Yes. Select the “Bill of Lading” tab and enter the complete Master B/L number exactly as shown on your CMA CGM shipping document. If multiple containers are linked to the same B/L, they can be viewed together under the shipment.

Is a container number or B/L number better for CMA CGM tracking?

Use a container number when you need to follow one specific container. Use a B/L number when you want to check the shipment as a whole, especially when multiple containers are linked to the same CMA CGM Master B/L. B/L tracking makes it easier to review related containers and shipment events together.

CMA CGM is a global shipping and logistics company founded in 1978 in Marseille, France. It operates an extensive international container shipping network connecting major markets across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania.

Where can I check my CMA CGM container or B/L status?

You can track both CMA CGM containers and B/Ls directly on this page. Enter the relevant container number or Master B/L number to check the latest available shipment status, vessel information, port events, and ETA without creating an account for the initial lookup.

Can I track CMA CGM shipments together with other carriers?

Yes. CMA CGM provides its own shipment tracking services, while Tradlinx lets you manage CMA CGM together with shipments from other supported carriers in one place. Ocean Visibility users can monitor multiple shipments, track exceptions, and receive automated shipment updates without switching between individual carrier portals.

How long does a CMA CGM shipment usually take?

CMA CGM transit time varies depending on origin, destination, selected service, port rotation, and transshipment plan. Because these conditions differ by shipment, the latest ETA shown in the tracking results above is a better reference than a fixed general transit-time estimate.

Can I track CMA CGM containers and B/Ls for free on Tradlinx?

Yes. You can look up a CMA CGM container or B/L without payment for the initial tracking search. Teams that need to manage larger shipment volumes, use API integration, or receive automated milestone and exception notifications can use Tradlinx Ocean Visibility.

What is a CMA CGM 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:

3-letter owner/operator code + 1 equipment category identifier (e.g. CMAU, CGMU, TRIU, TLLU)
6-digit serial number
1 check digit

Common Prefix Examples Used by CMA CGM and Other Shipping Lines:

CMAU – CMA CGM container
CGMU – CMA CGM container
TRIU – ISO 6346-compliant container prefix
TLLU – ISO 6346-compliant container prefix

*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.
