What is a Gold Star 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. GOSU, ZIMU, TLLU, TRHU)
- 6-digit serial number
- 1 check digit
Common Prefix Examples Used by Gold Star and Other Shipping Lines:
- GOSU – Gold Star container
- ZIMU – ZIM container
- TLLU – ISO 6346-compliant container prefix
- TRHU – ISO 6346-compliant container prefix
*Gold Star operates within the ZIM Group, so containers used on its services may carry Gold Star, ZIM, or third-party leasing-company prefixes while following the same ISO 6346 numbering standard.
